How to diagnose and replace the Neutral Safety Switch for the Nissan Xterra?

Place the shift lever in the Neutral position, unplug the electrical connector from the Neutral position switch, and, using an ohmmeter, check for continuity across the terminals of the switch.

Nissan Xterra Neutral Safety Switch

The Nissan Xterra Neutral Safety Switch is a built-in safety gate that only allows the engine to crank when the transmission is in park or neutral position. This built-in technology prevents the vehicle from suddenly moving forward or backward at startup. The Neutral Safety Switch in the Nissan line creates a closed electric circuit to the starter when the gear selector is in the correct location and remains open in drive or reverse, so turning the key sends no power to the starter motor. Due to the fact that all Xterra generations depend on this straightforward Neutral Safety Switch open-or-closed logic in their vehicles, the driver receives added safety without any additional steps taken. Both earlier and later model years utilize virtually the same Neutral Safety Switch for the part. As such, they are designed to sense the position of the shift lever to lock the ignition. Chiefly importantly, they did not use any speed or brake input. Keeping this in mind, they kept the design complexity low while keeping long-term reliability high. If the switch wears out, the engine will not crank in any gear, and it should be replaced. In short, the Neutral Safety Switch is a small yet important component in the Nissan starting system that gives every Xterra owner predictable protection each time the ignition is turned.
