Transmission Position Sensor/Switch: Service and Repair

REMOVAL
1. Disconnect battery ground cable.

NOTE: When battery voltage is removed from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), all learned values will be cleared and reset to predetermined values. When battery voltage is restored to the PCM, the vehicle may exhibit certain driveability concerns. It will be necessary to drive the vehicle to allow the PCM to relearn values for optimum driveability and performance.


2. Place manual control lever in NEUTRAL.
3. Remove engine intake air resonator and Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor.
4. Disconnect electrical harness from Transmission Range (TR) sensor.
5. Remove retaining bolts.
6. Remove TR sensor.

INSTALLATION
1. Make sure manual control lever is in the NEUTRAL position.
2. Install TR sensor and loosely install retaining bolts.






3. Align TR sensor slots using TR sensor Tool T94P-70010-AH.
4. Tighten retaining bolts to 9-12 Nm (84-108 inch lbs) and remove tool.
5. Connect electrical harness to TR sensor.
6. Install engine air intake resonator and MAF sensor.
7. Connect battery ground cable.
8. Check for proper operation with parking brake control engaged. The engine should start only in PARK or NEUTRAL. Backup lamps should activate only in the REVERSE position.
