The Park/Neutral Position (PNP) Switch completes the start circuit in PARK and NEUTRAL, the back-up lamp circuit in REVERSE, and a neutral sense circuit. The sensor also opens/closes a set of four switches that are monitored by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to determine the position of the manual lever (P, R, N, (D), 2, 1).
