How to Service and Repair a Neutral Safety Switch on a 31TH Automatic Transaxle on Dodge Caravan?

Before servicing or repairing the Neutral Safety Switch on the 31TH Automatic Transaxle, unscrew it from the transaxle case, allowing fluid to pour into a container below. Change the selector to Park, then to Neutral and see that both switch operating lever fingers are positioned in the middle of the switch opening. Screw the new switch with its seal onto the transaxle case and tighten it to 33 Nm (24 ft. lbs.), after which re-check the switch using your test lamp. Fill the transaxle with fluid to get it to the right level. Both outside contacts of the 3 terminal switch are used to link the circuit for the back up lamp switch. To verify the switch, take out the connector and test for continuity between the two outside pins; continuity should show up only when the transaxle is in Reverse, with no continuity to the case from either pin.

Dodge Caravan Neutral Safety Switch is a safety switch that allows the engine to start only if the transmission lever is in Park or Neutral. The Neutral Safety Switch on all Dodge models, or the transmission range sensor as it's also known, monitors the position of the manual lever and sends an electrical signal to the vehicle computer so the computer can verify the selected gear before the starter circuit is energized. Within the assembly, the electrical contacts shift position concurrently with the linkage on a Caravan transmission. Therefore, they close dedicated circuits for Park and Neutral, which open in Drive or Reverse, inhibiting unwanted starts. The computer also uses the Neutral Safety Switch signal to determine which forward and reverse gear should be engaged via pressure-modulating solenoids to control shift timing and torque converter operation. In the case of a Dodge with automatic transmission, the Neutral Safety Switch thus supports start and shift safety. Each Dodge Caravan model implements this mechanism, allowing it to harness the same protection. Due to the uniformity of their design, the Neutral Safety Switch function in the drivetrain can be described with one description.
