Question 1

How to identify issues with the Neutral Safety Switch on Cadillac CTS?

Accepted Answer

To replace the transmission position switch/sensor, first lift and assume the position of the vehicle. Install a new shaft seal with j44767 seal installer where leaking, and remove manual transmission shift shaft nut. Detach the shift linkage from the transmission manual shift shaft and remove the exhaust system. Release the coupler of the propeller shaft by pushing the front propeller shaft toward the rear of the vehicle from the transmission flange, disconnecting the propeller shaft coupler. Cinch mechanics wire on the shift control lever to the front propeller shaft. Eliminate and dispose of the shaft seal and cup plug in case of leaking. Transmissions do not need to be removed for the shift shaft position switch replacement except for manual shift shaft change. Disconnect the manual shift shaft position switch electrical connector and remove the retaining pin with the use of a suitably sized pin punch. Remove the manual shift shaft detent spring and bolts then place a suitable transmission jack under the support and also remove the support from the body. Lower the rear of the transmission just enough to allow the manual shift shaft to clear the vehicle floor pan, then extract the manual shift shaft from the transmission case to remove the manual shift shaft position switch, the manual shift shaft detent lever, the manual shift shaif assembly spacer, and the park pawl actuator as an assembly. For installation, put into the manual shift shaft position switch , detent lever , assembly spacer and park pawl actuator as one assembly, with the park pawl pushed up if necessary. Fully insert the manual shift shaft into the transmission case, lift up the transmission to its usual location and then install the transmission support. Take out the transmission jack, put in deftness syringe of manual shift shaft spring, and secure it, using control valve body bolts without tightening. Ensure that manual shift shaft detent lever locating pin fits in manual valve link and manual shift shaft switch with detent spring roller . (04.05). Employ a proper pin punch for the purpose of installing the manual shift shaft position switch retaining pin and join the related electrical connector with the switch. Place a 0.8 mm spacer between the manual shaft detent lever and the detent spring, and then tighten the detent spring bolts to 11 nm (97 inch lbs). Put aside the spacer, substitute the transmission fluid pan, and filter, and if taken out previously, apply a new shaft seal utilizing the j44767 seal installer. Mount the seal on the j44767 and then insert it into the transmission case to make sure it is seated properly. If previously removed, install a new cup plug lubricated with transmission fluid up flush with the transmission case. Undo the mechanics oiler securing the front propeller shaft to the shift control lever, insert the propeller shaft coupler (to the transmission flange) and reinstall the tyre system. Connect the shift linkage to the transmission manual shift shaft and install the manual shift shaft nut with securing it to the extent of 15 nm (11 ft. Lbs.). Last, modify shift control linkage and bring down the vehicle.

Question 2

How to service and repair the Neutral Safety Switch for the 4L60-E/4L65-E transmission on Cadillac Escalade?

Accepted Answer

Service and repair procedures for the Neutral Safety Switch of the 4l60-e/4l65-e transmission start after applying the park brake and switching the transmission into neutral position. Start by removing the front propeller shaft when your vehicle has 4-wheel drive (4WD). Support the vehicle properly and unplug all park/neutral position (PNP) switch electrical connectors from their corresponding ports. Start by removing the manual shaft lever nut and then extract its transmission control lever from the manual shaft. Start by removing pnp switch bolts to extract pnp switch from the manual shaft. Manually file away burrs on the manual shaft outer side if the component fails to slide off without resistance. Install the pnp switch by positioning it on the transmission manual shaft with attention to align both sets of flats between the hub and manual shaft then push it forward until the mounting bracket touches the transmission bosses. The use of j 41364-a park neutral switch aligner becomes unnecessary when installing a new pnp switch because the switch comes with an integrated positive assurance bracket. Finger-tighten the pnp switch bolts before applying the park neutral switch aligner (J 41364-A) onto the switch. The two slots on the switch should match the lower tabs on the tool. Tighten the bolts to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.) by rotating the tool until the upper locator pin rests precisely on the slot found on top of the switch. Next, remove the park neutral switch aligner (J 41364-A) followed by any positive assurance bracket that might be in place. Install the transmission control lever onto the manual shaft by using the nut and torque it to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.) before reattaching the pnp switch electrical connectors. Check the switch operation while lowering the vehicle by reinstalling the front propeller shaft for 4wd systems ensuring the motor starts only when the vehicle is in park (P) or neutral (N). The system requires replacement of the switch when it fails to work correctly.
