Neutral Switch (MTX)


View: Neutral Switch:






PURPOSE
Neutral switch signals the PCME that the gear selector is either in neutral or any other gear position. Inputs are used by the PCME in calculations for these outputs: igniter (timing control), fuel injection quantity, idle speed, purge control, and A/C cut-off.

LOCATION
On transaxle.

OPERATION
This is an ON/OFF switch activated by movement of shift mechanisms inside the transaxle.
