Keep the starter locked out unless the transmission is in Park or Neutral with the Standard Ignition NS-622 Neutral Safety Switch. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2011 Kia Sorento, 2013 Hyundai Tucson and 2010-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list. This electrically operated switch replaces a damaged OE unit and is designed to restore the neutral safety lockout on the listed applications.
- Copper alloy conductors: Chosen for strong electrical conductivity with low resistive losses.
- Direct-fit, electrically operated switch: Replaces a damaged OE unit and is intended to restore the neutral safety lockout, which supports safe starting.
- Robust build: Made with high-grade materials to handle the demands of today's professional technicians.
What it does: The neutral safety switch reports the transmission position to the starting circuit, so the starter is enabled only in Park or Neutral. This helps keep the engine from cranking while the vehicle is in gear.
Signs this part may need replacing: the engine won't crank in Park, cranks only in Neutral, or cranks only some of the time. A weak battery, wiring faults, or a failing starter can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If a failed neutral safety switch is the cause, NS-622 replaces it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a neutral safety switch do?
It reports the transmission position so the starter circuit is enabled only in Park or Neutral. This helps prevent the engine from cranking while the vehicle is in gear.
Which vehicles does the Standard Ignition NS-622 fit?
It fits many vehicles, among them the 2011 Kia Sorento, 2013 Hyundai Tucson and 2010-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
Is NS-622 the same as a brake light switch for the 2011 Kia Sorento?
No. NS-622 is a neutral safety switch, a separate component from the ignition switch and the brake light switch. It enables the starter only when the transmission is in Park or Neutral.
What are signs the neutral safety switch may need replacing?
Signs include no crank in Park, cranking only in Neutral, or intermittent cranking. A weak battery, wiring faults, or the starter can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the switch.
What part numbers does NS-622 interchange with?
It cross-references CSW519, SW8584, NS7024, 427003B000, 427003B010, 7003B000, and 7003B010.
