Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both Technician A and Technician B are correct. The neutral safety switch, which prevents the vehicle from starting unless the gear selector is in park or neutral, could be misaligned or faulty, requiring adjustment or replacement. Similarly, if the gear selector linkage is improperly adjusted, it could prevent the correct selection of park or neutral, hindering the starting process. Both components play a role in the described issue.
