The transmission neutralizer switch is a two-position limit switch. The transmission neutralizer switch informs the Power Train ECM when the service brake and transmission neutralizer pedal is depressed. When the transmission neutralizer switch is activated the switch is open. When the transmission neutralizer switch is deactivated, the switch closes contact J2-4 of the Power Train ECM to ground. When the N/O contact is NOT grounded, the Power Train ECM initiates the neutralizer function. The COM terminal is connected to frame ground. The N/C terminal of the switch is not used.

Pressure Switch (Parking Brake Oil) (Electronic Transmission Control)




Illustration 6g00287701

The parking brake oil pressure switch is an input of the Power Train Electronic Control Module (ECM). This switch signals the Power Train ECM when the parking brake is engaged.

The parking brake oil pressure switch is a double-pole, single-throw pressure switch. When the operator engages the parking brake, the normally open (N/O) pole opens and the normally closed (N/C) pole closes to ground. This signals the Power Train ECM that the parking brake is engaged. When the parking brake is disengaged, the N/O pole is closed and the N/C pole is open. This signals the Power Train ECM that the parking brake pressure switch circuit is operating correctly. The N/C pole connects to connector contact J1-27 of the Power Train ECM. The N/O pole connects to connector contact J1-36 of the Power Train ECM. The common terminal of the switch connects to ground.

Note: The normally closed (N/C) circuit and normally open (N/O) circuit of the parking brake pressure switch are used for diagnostic purposes. A circuit failure is present if the two circuits are open at the same time or if the two circuits are grounded at the same time. This fault is then shown on the display of the AVSpare Monitoring System.
