Pontiac Torrent Automatic Transmission Shift Position Sensor Switch

The Pontiac Torrent Automatic Transmission Shift Position Sensor Switch keeps the SUV from making any cranking movement except when the gear selector is in the neutral or park position. Only then does it ensure drivers are not surprised by an unexpected movement. Acting as an electrical gatekeeper, this Automatic Transmission Shift Position Sensor Switch monitors the shifter position and completes or interrupts the starter circuit to allow engine ignition only in safe positions. By ensuring that neutral or park is selected before power is received to the starter, the Automatic Transmission Shift Position Sensor Switch helps prevent sudden lurches that can be produced if the vehicle is left in drive or reverse. Every Pontiac built with an automatic transmission is based on this simple but critical logic, and each Torrent benefits from the fact that the Automatic Transmission Shift Position Sensor Switch is constantly checking to see if the correct gear position is in the correct place from the moment the key is turned. If the lever is positioned anywhere other than neutral or park, the Automatic Transmission Shift Position Sensor Switch immediately maintains the starter disabled state for predictable starts and occupant and surrounding safety for everyday Pontiac driving while allowing Torrent owners to enjoy confident, hassle-free ignition.

Each OEM Pontiac Torrent Automatic Transmission Shift Position Sensor Switch we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.

  • Q: How to Remove and Install a Shift Lever and Automatic Transmission Shift Position Sensor Switch on Pontiac Torrent?
    A:
    To remove the shift lever, start by placing the shift lever in Neutral and removing the battery, battery box, and tray. Then, carefully pry the end of the shift cable off of the ball stud on the Automatic Transmission Shift Position Sensor Switch using two screwdrivers. Disconnect the electrical connector from the switch and remove the control lever nut and lever. Finally, remove the mounting fasteners and lift off the switch. To install the new switch, ensure that the transaxle is in Neutral and align the flats on the switch with the flats on the shaft. Install the switch, leaving the mounting fasteners snug until you verify that the engine will only start in Park and Neutral. Install the lever and complete the rest of the installation in reverse order. Verify that the engine will only start in Park or Neutral and tighten the switch bolts securely.
