2009 Scion xD Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the park/neutral safety switch assembly onto the manual valve lever shaft on 2009 Scion xD?

  A: The installation process requires first installing the 2 bolts temporarily and then adding a new lock plate before tightening the manual valve shaft nut to 6.9 Nm (70 kgf-cm, 61 in-lbf). The control shaft lever needs installation first by turning it opposite of clock direction until it reaches a stop then proceeding clockwise by two notches before removal. While positioning the groove at the neutral basic line keep the switch stationary before securing the 2 bolts with a torque of 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf). Position the nut along with its lock plate under the screwdriver shaft and install the control shaft lever assembly together with the washer before torquing it to 13 Nm (129 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf). Secure the connector at the park/neutral position switch assembly. The transmission control cable assembly must receive its nut for installation on the control shaft lever while achieving a torque setting of 12 Nm (122 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf). After a new clip weaves the cable through the control cable bracket, check that the cable marking lines up with the bracket slit before final setup. The last step includes checking the shift lever placement as well as the park/neutral position switch assembly before installing engine under cover LH and securing it with 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf).
