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

  A:

  Preliminaries for pnp switch replacement start with applying the parking brake and wheel blocking followed by shifting the transmission into neutral. First detach the automatic transaxle range selector cable from the cable lever using a flat-bladed tool while you remove the throttle body air inlet duct. Before extracting the pnp switch the technician must first detach all electrical connectors as well as automatic transaxle range selector lever and pnp switch bolts. Install the new pnp switch without rotation because it comes in the neutral position so check that the shift shaft stays in neutral. Analyze shift position through the transmission after you find the bolt holes aligned properly. After aligning the flat surfaces between shift shaft and pnp switch install the pnp switch onto the transaxle and tighten the pnp switch bolts to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). The automatic transaxle range selector lever requires reinstallation together with electrical connectors before installing the automatic transaxle range selector cable. Before moving forward inspect the engine readiness while keeping the transmission shifting to park and neutral positions and make corrections as needed. After reinstalling the throttle body air inlet duct you should remove blocks from tires and release the parking brake. The j 41545 park/neutral switch aligner serves as the necessary tool for conducting this procedure.

  Q: How to service and repair the Neutral Safety Switch on 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.
