Rav4 2011 4wd, keyless button starter with backup camera and GPS built in. Moms hits a pothole on front driver side says it was about a 6/7-10 scale of scary. OBII says it is a code P0705 Not a car guy. Symptom: When starting car, the digital dash shows in in park (P) with back cam showing and reverse highlighted as well , even though it is in (P). Even when driving it sometimes shows on reverse with back cam active. Auto-LSD is blinking nonestop with the Check Engine light. Sometimes - the push button is lighting green when the car is off but when pressed to start car it is no longer green. It is suppose to be the other way around I think. I checked the Neutral Switch it seems fine. I haven't taken it off yet it was a pain for me to locate. It was below the battery and I had to access it from under the car. I replugged all of the connectors. The car drives normally, nothings is amiss besides the gear and the dashboard+back cam not aligning properly. No leak, all the gears are smooth changing from PRNDL. I hope to have individuals with similar or knowledge of this problem to connect with me. My mom is the only one working and supporting the house and I want to do my part to help her to be able to do it. Thanks

I have a 2001 sienna,this looks to be the same engine,,Im having problems ,back up lights not working,bulbs new and fuse is good , Ive heard the neutral safety switch takes the place of a back up light switch and could be my problem,but no check engine light,,please tell your view on this, on the other hand it does start in park and neutral so thats all working

[@ChristopherWRogers]

This could be your problem. My symptoms were different but I've heard those same ones you're having and this fixed it.

[@bilabidennis3846]

Can Cort delay selection sir

[@mstuartk]

Is it true that this part also serves to light up the reverse lights? My bulbs are good and no blown fuses.

[@ChristopherWRogers]

It may be one of the issues. If tye vehicle doesn't think it's in reverse they probably won't light up

[@believeinthe12thman45]

Great video Christopher! Sounds like if there's a problem with the Neutral SS, you'll get a check engine light and then that code. I'm having a different issue with the car not cranking intermittently and I thought this might be the problem but I have no check engine light and sometimes I can start it in Park on Neutral. The battery is fine and when it does crank the car has no issues. I'm believe it's the starter at this point. Did you have any of these issues at all? Just curious. Thanks.

[@ChristopherWRogers]

I was driving and the check engine light came on. Started to not wanna shift and then if I went from drive to reverse it would cut off. If you move the shifter when it doesn't want to crank does it start after.

@@ChristopherWRogers I was with the family on a road trip and it's been fine until the other one day we stopped at a rest area and when I tried to start it the car was "dead" I tried it in neutral and it didn't start. No cranking, no noise and it was silent. So I thought maybe the battery was bad. A guy had one of those new jumping batteries with connectors and we hooked it up and nothing same issue. He had a volt meter and it read 12.6 so battery was good. I pulled the relay fuse and tried to find another one that was the same size but couldn't find one. So I put it back in. So about 30 min later I tried and the car started! The next day it wouldn't start again. I tried it in neutral and then it started. We drove 12 hours home because I didn't want to be stranded. Today the car started up in park. No problems. I think it's the starter. I thought it might be the neutral SS but now I think it's not. Sorry for the long reply.....

@@believeinthe12thman45 so it was the starter?

[@believeinthe12thman45]

@@m.alvelo2512 Yes it was. I replaced the starter when I got home the next day. Haven't had a problem since.

[@m.alvelo2512]

@@believeinthe12thman45 I will test today if I have current/power to the starter. If I do not, I will check the Neutral Safety Switch. Assuming I do have power, I will replace the starter. Did you get a DENSO starter ? I read that’s what they recommend.

[@barbararomo8760]

I have question my issue was with bleeding brakes on 2005 toyota Sienna so i did that nd go to start it nd starts right up but. Then when i go to put it in reverse i cant take it outta park to reverse wat can be problem?

[@ChristopherWRogers]

Could be something with your shift cable or gear shift. Not sure honestly

[@literailly]

Similar on a 2010, but NSS is rotated 90 degrees... Looking tricky. I'm trying from the wheel well, not sure yet if it will work

[@ChristopherWRogers]

It should

[@literailly]

​@@ChristopherWRogers got it! However it turns out the switch was fine. I had a wiring problem with the tail lights and backuplights being connected of all things 😂

[@zo4199]

My arm (2:20 the part you took off the shaft) that goes on the control shaft seems to be stuck on with rust and gunk, any idea on how to get it off without breaking the shaft?

[@ChristopherWRogers]

You can use some type of lubricant but on mine I had to pry it off carefully

[@zo4199]

@@ChristopherWRogers Thanks for the quick reply man.

[@Akx2515]

PB spray and HEAT from a blow dryer is what got mine off.

[@zo4199]

@@Akx2515 Alright cool, that's actually what I was planning this weekend when it stops raining, PB blaster and a heat gun. It's good to know that's not a dumb idea lol.

[@Akx2515]

Bro. I got one for my Camry on Amazon for $40. I said hell no to $260 for that small ass part.

[@ChristopherWRogers]

I found a few for cheaper but I needed it that day. That vehicle was my work vehicle at the time.
