Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation
PARK / NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH
Engine Control System
The neutral start switch goes on when the shift lever is in the N or P shift position. When it goes on, terminal NSW of the ECM is grounded to the body
ground via the starter relay, thus the terminal NSW voltage becomes 0V. When the shift lever is in the D, 2, L or R position, the park/neutral position
switch goes off, so the voltage of the ECM. Terminal NSW becomes battery voltage and the voltage of the ECM internal power source. If the shift lever
is moved from the N position to the D position, this signal is used for air-fuel ratio correction and for idle speed control (estimated control), etc.
Transmission Control System
The park/neutral position switch detects the shift lever position and sends signals to the ECM.
The ECM receives signals (PNP SW, REVERSE, DRIVE, 2ND and LOW) from the park/neutral position switch.
