• Q: How to replace the Neutral Safety Switch on 2002 Chevrolet Venture?

  A: First use the parking brake and set wheel blocks before shifting into neutral position. First use a flat-bladed tool to detach the automatic transaxle range selector cable from the cable lever while you remove the throttle body air inlet duct. First disconnect the electrical connectors and automatic transaxle range selector lever before removing the pnp switch bolts and pnp switch. Confirm the shift shaft stands in neutral because a new pnp switch is designed specifically for this spot and must remain stationary. Check that the transmission resides in neutral when the bolt holes fail to align. Arrange the shift shaft flats to align with pnp switch flats before installing the transaxle pnp switch following fastener notice instructions from the service precautions section. Fasten the pnp switch with bolts which should be tightened to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Install the automatic transaxle range selector lever followed by electrical connectors before installing the automatic transaxle range selector cable. Check that the engine can start only when the shift lever is positioned either in park or neutral position while adjusting accordingly. Reinstall the throttle body air inlet duct then remove wheel blocks and release the parking brake. Workers need the j 41545 park/neutral switch aligner tool to perform this operation.
