Installation (A/T Models)

  1. Using NEW lock plate, install PNP on transaxle. Install and tighten PNP switch retaining nut and PNP switch retaining bolt(s) to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  table. Bend over tab on lock plate against PNP switching retaining nut.
  2. Reinstall control lever, washer and nut on PNP switch. Reconnect shift cable or shift linkage on control lever. Check that engine starts only with shift lever in Park and Neutral. If PNP switch adjustment is required, go to next step.
  3. Ensure parking brake is applied. Place shift lever in Neutral. It may be necessary to remove control lever (if equipped) for access to PNP switch retaining bolt(s). Loosen PNP switch retaining bolt(s).
  4. Rotate PNP switch so neutral base line aligns with the groove. See Fig 2. Tighten PNP switch retaining bolt(s) to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  table.
  5. Ensure continuity exists between specified terminals on PNP in relation to shift lever position. See steps described in SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS article. Reinstall electrical connector.
