Keep your engine cranking only in Park or Neutral—and let the transmission know exactly which gear is selected—with the Standard Ignition Neutral Safety Switch / Transmission Range Sensor NS-357. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2006 Lexus SC430, 2002-2005 Toyota Land Cruiser, 2003-2007 Lexus GX470, 2003-2004 Toyota 4Runner, 2003-2005 Toyota Tacoma, and 2004-2005 Lexus LX470. Because it's cataloged under two names, this part is listed as both a Neutral Safety Switch and a Transmission Range Sensor.
Gear-position sensing: reports the shift-selector position so the vehicle's control system knows the current gear.
Start-inhibit function: designed to permit starter engagement only in Park or Neutral, so the engine won't crank in a drive gear.
Direct-fit design: intended to install in place of the original switch on the listed applications.
Signs this switch may need replacing include a no-start in Park or Neutral, an engine that cranks in other gear positions, or a shift-position indicator that reads incorrectly. If a failed neutral safety switch / range sensor is the cause, this replaces it; diagnose the condition first, since other components can produce the same symptoms.
