• Q: How to install the park/neutral safety switch assembly for the U250E AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE on 2008 Toyota Solara?

  A: The installation of U250E AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE park/neutral position switch begins with connecting the switch to manual valve shaft and applying temporary bolts. Secure a new lock plate and tightly fasten the nut to 6.9 Nm specified torque (70 kgf-cm and 61 in-lbf). First mount the control shaft lever temporarily and rotate it to the counterclockwise stop followed by clockwise adjustment of two notches before removing it. Secure the switch between the neutral basic line and the groove before tightening the two bolts to 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf). Apply a screwdriver to secure the nut on the lock plate before installing the control shaft lever with washer and nut which must be tightened to 13 Nm (130 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf). Attach the park/neutral position switch wire connector. Secure the control cable to the control shaft lever with the specified torque of 15 Nm (153 kgf-cm, 11 ft-lbf), then fasten a new clip to the bracket before installing the cable there. Determine when to install the engine under cover LH followed by the intake air resonator and then connect the air cleaner hose No.1 and air cleaner and the engine cover No.1 sub-assembly, and the battery remains to be installed. Check the shift lever position while examining both components of the shift lever position and park/neutral position switch assembly. Finally, perform initialization.
