2010 Scion xD Neutral Safety Switch Parts Q&A

• Q: How to install the park/neutral safety switch assembly onto the manual valve lever shaft on 2010 Scion xD?

  A: The installation of the park/neutral position switch assembly onto the manual valve lever shaft requires investigators to first fasten the 2 bolts provisionally then substitute the lock plate with a new one before tightening the manual valve shaft nut to 6.9 Nm (70 kgf-cm, 61 in-lbf). Adjust the control shaft lever until it stops and proceed counterclockwise followed by clockwise movement of 2 notches before removing the control shaft lever. Position the groove on the neutral basic line while holding the switch at this location to tighten the 2 bolts to 5.4 Nm force (55 kgf-cm or 48 in-lbf torque). The procedure requires a screwdriver to stake down the lock plate alongside the nut before inserting the control shaft lever as well as its washer and taking the torque to 13 Nm (129 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf). Link the connector to the park/neutral position switch assembly. The transmission control cable assembly requires installation onto the control shaft lever with its nut and subsequent tightening to 12 Nm (122 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf) before fixing onto the control cable bracket with a new clip where the cable marking must align precisely with the transmission control cable bracket slit during assembly. Install the engine under cover LH before tightening using 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm) torque to achieve 44 in-lbf although neglecting opposing torques.
