  Q: How to remove the Neutral Safety Switch from the U241E automatic transaxle on Scion xB?

  A:

  The first step to remove the neutral safety switch from the U241E automatic transaxle is battery removal. The second step requires removing the number 2 battery carrier. The next step requires disconnecting the connector from the assembly located at the park/neutral position switch. The transmission control cable assembly requires removal from the control shaft lever after releasing its connecting nut followed by removing the control shaft lever itself and its nut. The screwdriver helps you detach the lock plate while another screwdriver removes both the lock plate and manual valve shaft along with its nut. The procedure ends by taking out the two bolts and extracting the park/neutral position switch assembly from the manual valve lever shaft position.

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

  A:

  Begin the manual valve lever shaft installation of the park/neutral position switch by installing the two bolts provisionally then switching the lock plate for a new one before tightening the manual valve shaft nut to 6.9 Nm (70 kgf-cm, 61 in-lbf). For installing the control shaft lever we need to first mount it temporarily before turning it anti-clockwise to its stop point then clockwise 2 notches before uninstalling it. Position the groove on the neutral basic line then fasten the switch with 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf) of torque for the 2 mounting bolts. Position the control shaft lever into the transmission while screwing the nut and lock plate together and tightening them to 13 Nm (133 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf). The transmission control cable assembly needs installation at the control shaft lever with the nut while applying 12 Nm (122 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf) torque before connecting the connector to the park/neutral position switch assembly. The procedure requires you to put on the No. 2 battery carrier first and then add the battery last along with an adjustment check for shift lever position and final inspection of the park/neutral position switch assembly.
