How to disconnect, remove, and reinstall the Neutral Safety Switch on a Toyota Highlander?

Start by disconnecting the car's battery, lifting the vehicle, and putting it on jackstands to work on the Toyota Highlander TR sensor. Unplug the TR sensor electric wires, unfasten the shift control cable from the lever, and disconnect the cable. You need to take off the nut that holds the control shaft lever to the manual valve shaft. Then you push open the lockplate tabs and loosen the manual valve shaft nut. Unbolt the TR sensor from place, and pull it off. When your vehicle is a later model, remove the air filter cover first. Then pop off the locking cap by turning it counterclockwise, and take down the electrical wire on the Park/Neutral switch. Disconnect the control shaft nut, shaft, and locking washer to raise the switch off its place on the manual shaft. To install the sensor, put it onto the valve shaft first and tighten the mounting bolts loosely. Place the control shaft lever back on the manual valve shaft, turn it counterclockwise until it stops moving, then clockwise two full turns as you watch the indicator on the lockplate, until it shows the Neutral position. Push the lockplate pointer until it matches the Neutral base line, put in a fresh lockplate, tighten the nut holding the manual valve shaft firmly, and press the lockplate tabs into the nut. Put the manual shift lever in Neutral, put the Park/Neutral switch onto the manual shaft, and quickly screw on its mounting bolts. Put the control arm onto the manual shaft. Turn it clockwise until it stops, then counterclockwise through two complete turns. Check the position of the control shaft on the lockplate. Push it on until you see the indicator point sit at the neutral basic line. Lock the bolts into place. Push the shaft onto its place, put the washer, and screw the nut on tightly. You twist the control shaft slowly first by turning right until it stops, then left two full rotations, and add the control cable and shoe. The setup process reverses what we did to take the car apart.

Toyota Highlander Neutral Safety Switch

The Toyota Highlander Neutral Safety Switch ensures that the SUV can only start if the gear selector is in park or neutral, which protects the driver and everyone near the vehicle from movement. This device from Toyota acts like a gate in the ignition circuit. If the lever is sitting in drive or reverse, the Neutral Safety Switch cuts power to the starter so the engine stays silent. Every generation of Highlander follows this logic, with contacts that open and close with shifter movement. When the contacts align in neutral or park, the Toyota Neutral Safety Switch closes the circuit, electricity goes to the starter, and the engine cranks. The earlier models employed a basic metal contact plate, whereas the later units make use of a small sensor shell. Regardless of style, the Highlander offers a Highlander Neutral Safety Switch to prevent all accidental launches. A bad Neutral Safety Switch will prevent your engine from turning over, just like a dead battery. Checking your gear position will give you a quick clue. If starting problems occur, owners can easily locate the small switch near the transmission lever.

Toyota Highlander Neutral Safety Switch Parts Questions & Experts Answers

Neutral Start Switch Assembly
84540-12230
Q: How to disconnect, remove, and reinstall the Neutral Safety Switch on a Toyota Highlander?
A:
Start by disconnecting the car's battery, lifting the vehicle, and putting it on jackstands to work on the Toyota Highlander TR sensor. Unplug the TR sensor electric wires, unfasten the shift control cable from the lever, and disconnect the cable. You need to take off the nut that holds the control shaft lever to the manual valve shaft. Then you push open the lockplate tabs and loosen the manual valve shaft nut. Unbolt the TR sensor from place, and pull it off. When your vehicle is a later model, remove the air filter cover first. Then pop off the locking cap by turning it counterclockwise, and take down the electrical wire on the Park/Neutral switch. Disconnect the control shaft nut, shaft, and locking washer to raise the switch off its place on the manual shaft. To install the sensor, put it onto the valve shaft first and tighten the mounting bolts loosely. Place the control shaft lever back on the manual valve shaft, turn it counterclockwise until it stops moving, then clockwise two full turns as you watch the indicator on the lockplate, until it shows the Neutral position. Push the lockplate pointer until it matches the Neutral base line, put in a fresh lockplate, tighten the nut holding the manual valve shaft firmly, and press the lockplate tabs into the nut. Put the manual shift lever in Neutral, put the Park/Neutral switch onto the manual shaft, and quickly screw on its mounting bolts. Put the control arm onto the manual shaft. Turn it clockwise until it stops, then counterclockwise through two complete turns. Check the position of the control shaft on the lockplate. Push it on until you see the indicator point sit at the neutral basic line. Lock the bolts into place. Push the shaft onto its place, put the washer, and screw the nut on tightly. You twist the control shaft slowly first by turning right until it stops, then left two full rotations, and add the control cable and shoe. The setup process reverses what we did to take the car apart.
