• Q: How to service and repair the Neutral Safety Switch on 2001 Toyota 4Runner?

  A: The starting point for servicing the Transmission Position Switch/Sensor requires disconnecting the park/neutral position switch connector. Start by disconnecting the connector of the park/neutral position switch before proceeding to remove the switch itself by dislodging its lock washer then removing its nut followed by pulling out the bolt. Install the park/neutral position switch by placing its bolt and torque it to 13 Nm (130 kgf-cm, 10 ft. lbs.). Install the new lock plate together with the nut afterward tightening them to 3.9 Nm (40 kgf-cm, 35 inch lbs.). You should secure the nut with bent lock plate claws. The process ends by adjusting the park/neutral position switch before reconnecting its park/neutral position switch connector.
