TESTING

  1. With transmission linkage properly adjusted, switch should allow starter operation in "P" and "N" only. To test switch, remove wire connector. Using an ohmmeter, test for continuity between center pin of switch and case. Continuity should exist only with transmission in "P" or "N".
  2. Check for continuity between 2 outer pins. Continuity should exist with transmission in Reverse, only. There should be no continuity between either outside pin or transmission case.
  3. To replace neutral safety switch, remove switch from case and allow fluid to drain. Move selector lever to "P" and "N" positions and check that switch operating fingers are centered in switch opening. Install new switch and seal. Tighten to 25 ft. lbs. (34 N.m). Retest switch for continuity and add transmission fluid.
