Transmission Position Sensor/Switch: Service and Repair

Important:
- The park/neutral position switch prevents the starter motor operation when the automatic transmission control is in any gear by breaking the starter motor circuit. When the automatic transmission control is in reverse (with engine running), the park/neutral position switch completes the backup lamp circuit, lighting the backup lamps.
