The Park/Neutral Position switch, also known as the transmission range switch, is located on the side of the transmission over the manual shaft. It serves as an information sensor for the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and performs functions such as preventing the engine from starting in any gear other than park or neutral, and activating the back-up lights when the shift lever is in reverse. To adjust the switch, loosen the mounting bolts and slightly turn it until the engine only starts in park or neutral, then tighten the bolts. For replacement, disconnect the battery cable, apply the parking brake, and put the shift lever in neutral. Remove the shift cable and electrical connector from the switch, as well as the manual lever. Then, remove the switch retaining bolts and detach it from the transmission. To install a new switch, align the slots on the switch with the notch on the switch body and install it onto the shaft. If using the old switch, align the flats of the manual shaft with the flats of the switch. Install the switch mounting bolts, tighten them to the specified torque, and reinstall the manual lever. Finally, attach the shift cable and reconnect the electrical connectors.

The Park/Lock system is a safety feature that prevents the shift lever from being moved out of Park unless the brake pedal is depressed. It also prevents the ignition key from being removed unless the shift lever is in the Park position.
