Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Park/Neutral Position Switch

The Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch contains four switches that ground four different circuits. These circuits are 771 (switch A), 772 (switch B), 773 (switch C) and 776 (switch D). (The park/neutral position switch also contains the backup lamp switch and the neutral/start switch.)

The transaxle monitors these four circuits and determines what gear the operator has selected by the combinations of opens and grounds. Each combination indicates a specific selection in the manual shift quadrant (PRND32).

Refer to the chart for park/neutral position switch, transaxle gear select position for further information.
