How To Test and Replace the Neutral Safety Swtich / Inhibitor Switch P0705

How to test an inhibitor switch or neutral safety switch. You'll need a digital multi-meter that's able to test continuity. (Most multi-meters have this function.) Turn up your volume a bit on this one. The battery in my multi-meter was almost depleted and it's a little tough hearing the audible indicator. This was performed on a 1997 Nissan Maxima. Check with your vehicle's repair manual for testing parameters. And don't forget to wear safety glasses.
The inhibitor switch detects the selector position and sends a signal to the A/T control unit. P0705 is a malfunction detected when the A/T control unit does not receive the correct voltage signal from the switch based on the gear position. It comes down to either the harness connector or the inhibitor switch itself.

Hi, am a bit confuse for the last part when you said that you need adjust alignment at neutral shifter taking the reference hold unscrew the control box and do alignment with the strait Allen key to this will allow to put everything in place. 1-you tied everything back but the cable shifter is in park and the adjustment alignment in neutral 2- Does this stay in neutral with alignment and shifter stay at Parking? 3- When you need to change parking to neutral should works? this is confusin for me.

Excellent video, might be having an issue with. 2001 maxima Had to put P ->N ->P. Then it started. Will keep eye on it . It might of gotten out of adjustment after 20 years. My son mostly drives the car now. And I think this issue has happened twice in 16 months. But also starter went and I replaced starter it for him. Part was free under warranty. I am sure it was the starter because I could hear it try to start but starter didn’t turn over . After a few taps on solenoid it started. Possible the cable got stretched or got miss alignment . Hopefully it isn’t the neutral safety switch sensor. But if it is part at rock auto is like $20-30, Autozone : 40-50, Dealer :80-90 Past 2-3 years electrical has been giving me issues Battery Both headlights bulbs not at same time Break light switch Blower motor & resistor Window motor Starter #4 coil Speed sensor Possibly TCC solenoid (p0744)

I bought a 92 Nissan pathfinder and I put it in neutral to transport it and I started it once but then it would not start again to save my life and I could not figure it out and even couldn’t get so called mechanics to diagnose and after a process of eliminating other causes why it wouldn’t turn over and it boiled down to the inhibitor switch being in the wrong position due to me manually setting the shifter into neutral and took it out of alignment and thought it was in gear.

I keep getting the code p0705 and all the gears read out "r" for reverse, on my display. and when I shift into drive, it kind of jolts into gear. probably because its defaulting to 3rd gear, but still. I do not kno what to check for at this point. and am getting irritated. the one thing I think it might be is a short in the wires somewhere, no clue were. because the 2 times its happened, its been raining. but I hope u can help me and tell me what to check for.

[@CarsNToys]

Those wires are used to detect when the vehicle is in Park and Neutral. Was the inhibitor switch in the park position when you tested for continuity? If the sensor is in the park position and you have no continuity, remove the shift cable from sensor and perform the test again. If you still don't have continuity it's a good indication the sensor is bad.

Finally! Someone made a video that's instructional, comprehensible and actually speaks English. Thank you! Thank you! A thousand times THANK YOU! You just gained a subscriber who will tell as many people as possible about your channel. My neutral safety switch on my 2019 Nissan Versa (I'm told) is bad and needs replaced. I'm like most, not having the funds to pay a mechanic even though my vehicle is still under warranty from Nissan. And the mechanics at CarMax, who say my service agreement is valid, refuse to fix it because their insane logic and deceptive loopholes require ME to take it to a dealership who automatically charges $200.00 + to diagnose the problem AFTER it has already been diagnosed. I'm going to "attempt" fixing the issue as I've successfully done before. And if successful, it would be great to tell others how one can do so purchasing a brand new Neutral Safety Switch online for less than $20.00 from a company in China which fits my particular vehicle. Again, Thank you so much. Keep up the GREAT WORK AND AWESOME CHANNEL.

[@thomasharmon6444]

Your back up camera will have no effect on the power going to the neutral safety switch. Likely a bad or starting to go wire providing power to the neutral safety switch or one sending power back to the computer depending o9n which gear you have it in.. Take a volt meter and check for power at the electrical connection to the switch with the key on.

[@freetob1]

No sounds like a tranny problem. The NSS Only controls your engine start and reverse lights.

[@ronhat-nx6yq]

Some information that may save someone some money and trouble. The neutral safety switch will cause many more transmission problems than just the no start in park. My towncar would intermittently jump into a lower gear when driving but just for a second. It can also cause a vehicle to not go into certain gears. If you take a neutral safety switch apart, it has many contacts inside it and many wires going to it.

[@anthonymarez7188]

Fluids are all okay, no accidents or anything like that. Parked the car, next day, no Reverse. Could this video help me fix this?

[@TheWiseZenShaman]

CarsNToys So long story short, its a tranny rebuild? Whats that about 500-1000? If im "lucky" *looking at you God* it would be the gear lever cable? Is that the one in this video?

[@TheWiseZenShaman]

CarsNToys Are all rebuilds the same in expenses? What if its a simple problem? Thanks I'll look for free estimates! I appreciate that. And can you explain what the gear lever that youre talking about is I know youre busy but just enough so I can go research it please :)

[@CarsNToys]

TheWiseZenShaman It's the most complex system in your car so it's always expensive. But again, if you're lucky it may be a simple fix such as a worn cable running from the gear lever to the tranny. Easiest way to find it is while the truck is off, crawl underneath the tranny and have someone move the gear lever from park to drive. You should see and hear clicking noises. Just follow the cable and make sure it's on tightly and that every gear engages.

[@kimrichards6127]

I have a 2000 Nesson altumia I can't get it to start up it turns over but no start what's up with it

Kim Richards It wouldn't be the neutral safety switch if the car is cranking. You have to check for spark and fuel. I'd start by checking for spark. Visit your local auto part store and grab a spark tester. They're around $15. If every cylinder is getting spark, then you'll have to check for fuel. Take a look at this video regarding fuel. An easy point is the fuel filter line. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWi9YXVudtCdd6M

Other times i have to either push it down a few times b4 it will start or sometimes I really have to give the pedal a good push. I have reason to believe my switch is failing asdon't think it's tripping everytime I push the pedal down so for $25 bux it's worth s shot.

[@CarsNToys]

+Muilisx Yea, they're a bit different for manual cars. Sounds like you're on the right track

[@Muilisxx]

Indeed, I received the new switch 2 days ago, and dropped it off at the mechanic who already has the truck for other reasons so when I pick it up it should have the new switch installed and I will know right away if it was the switch or not because I'm going to push the clutch pedal down normally and if it starts then it was the switch for sure because the old switch never trips if I push it lightly.

[@CarsNToys]

jamesgwilson1964 First thing that comes to mind is a weak battery. If the cold cranking amps on the battery isn't enough, you'll hear a clicking noise from the starter. (There isn't enough juice to turn the starter.) Next time it happens, try jumping the car. (If the clicking noise is coming from the starter, the neutral safety switch isn't the issue.) Also, is the check engine light on?

Armando Burgos Sounds like the symptom of a bad or going neutral position switch.

CarsNToys thanks for the info I'll update you thx

[@armandoburgos6712]

CarsNToys could it be a short that causes this as well? My headlights have a short and I payed 100$ for somebody to fix it and, they micky moused it.

Armando Burgos If the car always starts in neutral then I think it's the sensor going. You can also adjust the sensor. I'll try to upload a video for that this week.

Can this switch make your car not reverse

[@CarsNToys]

Older or new vehicle? Manual or auto?

@@CarsNToys yesterday my friend changed the oil on my 2011 sonata automatic when I tried to take my car for a test drive my car was having trouble going in reverse and drive no warning lights come on car starts and stays on Could it be that when my friend removed the plastic cover from under the car he may have disconnected something

Delshawn Arnold It's on the transmission housing; toward the top. You can often find the sensor by looking for a wire that runs to the top of the transmission.
