My '99, with about 84K miles and generally clean and well-kept, wouldn't restart recently, but then did after sitting for several hours. After returning from 11 days away, I now find that it won't start, at all.
Firs thought was fuel pump, but I do hear it functioning in the 'ON' position, as usual. Then....although I have had a check-engine light, as the A/C aux. electric fan relay needs to be replaced, I checked the code again, and now find:
'Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Malfunction (PRNDL Input) '
IS that the NSS/Neutral Safety Switch, or something different? Presumably, whatever it is, it is the cause of the non-start condition?
Perhaps, someone will kindly advise just what the offending component is, and where it is found?
Thanks much.
***Did a bit of general searching, and found the lack of reverse lights, along with non-start, as a symptom of NSS problems. CHECK on that one....as I haven't had reverse lights for many weeks, and hadn't spent much time trying to diagnose.
Assume it is the NSS, then.....??
If so, THIS NSS refurb. info. looks helpful:
