• Description:

  This is the genuine Ford Transmission Range Sensor also known as the digital gear position sensor or neutral safety switch a broad service part used across many 2009 through 2022 Ford and Lincoln models including Escape Fusion Focus Edge Explorer Taurus Transit Connect and EcoSport. The range sensor mounts to the automatic transmission manual shaft and reports the selected gear position to the powertrain control module and body electronics. It confirms the transmission is in Park or Neutral before allowing the engine to crank powers the reverse lamps and enables the correct shift and torque converter strategy for the selected range. A failing range sensor commonly causes a no-crank condition in Park that clears when the shifter is nudged into Neutral a gear indicator on the dash that does not match the actual selected gear reverse lights that stay off harsh or incorrect shifting or a wrench or check engine warning. It can set range or gear position related diagnostic trouble codes. Because it is exposed to underhood or under-vehicle heat and moisture the internal contacts wear and corrode over time. Confirm the exact application by VIN because mounting and connector variations exist across the wide vehicle range this part covers. On installation the sensor must be indexed and adjusted so the sensor neutral position aligns with the transmission manual lever otherwise the vehicle may crank in gear or misreport range. Verify correct alignment and that the vehicle starts only in Park and Neutral after fitting.
