2000 Chevrolet Venture Neutral Safety Switch Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the Neutral Safety Switch on 2000 Chevrolet Venture?

  A: Begin transmission position switch/sensor service and repair by first engaging the parking brake, blocking the wheels and shifting the transmission into neutral position. Start by removing the throttle body air inlet duct and then use a flat-bladed tool to detach the automatic transaxle range selector cable from the cable lever. First disconnect the electrical connectors before removing the automatic transaxle range selector lever followed by removing the pnp switch bolts before removing the pnp switch itself. The park/neutral switch alignment tool (J 41545) helps position the shift shaft in neutral for new pnp switch installation where any rotation should be avoided. First align the shift shaft flats with the pnp switch flats before mounting the pnp switch on the transaxle while tightening the bolts to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). After reattaching the automatic transaxle range selector lever and reconnecting electrical connectors the installer should attach the automatic transaxle range selector cable. Ensure the engine works correctly when the transmission is set to park or neutral while making essential adjustments. To conclude the procedure reinstall the throttle body air inlet duct and remove blocks from the wheels then release the parking brake.
