G'day all,
I have seen a few posts here about the xyz/inhibiter switch lately and have been having the M and S lights flashing , a lot too . I have a new calcium battery so it was down ti the switch or the wires causing the problem . I checked the wires and they were fine .
I have seen the price of the switch can be around $800 so i thought i would have a look inside it and see if i could find the problem.
I ground down the rivets and pulled the cover off and could see the problem right away.
It was a simple matter of gently bending the copper brush that had worn down causing a poor contact , give it a clean and rivet it back together and it has now been working fine for a week without any lights .
Before the fix it was impossible to drive without the M and S lights coming on.
You can see in the centre of the photo the black mark on the track that had the poor contact.
There is a brush for each of the tracks and the one that was worn was bent to be in line with the other 3 and gives good contact now .
This problem was not caused by water ingress and the inside was clean and dry apart from the carbom biuld up on the one track
I hope this will help any one with this fault , it is a very easy job .
Ok , just read the tutorial of the same fix but much more detail than i have put down here . The xyz switch on that one is very different to mine though.
My switch is like yours, I suspect the later models had the one in your pictures. I need to have a look at mine again, will check the tension on the contact.
Auto transmission selector or inhibitor switch. Located on the left side of the auto, connected to the gear selector inside by a cable. It controles the electric side of the trans, P,N,R,D , etc
