Review on 🚦 Neutral Safety Switch 31918-1XK0A for Nissan Sentra 2013-2014 1.8L & Versa 2012-2015 1.6L 319181XK0A by Damion Pasquale

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exact match to the 2013 Versa SV. P0705 was not fixed as it was actually caused by taillights.

IF YOU ARE BUYING THIS TO REPAIR P0705 READ BELOW! As the name suggests it was the perfect match and matched my 2013 Nissan Versa SV perfectly. However, the original turned out to be fine, and code P0705 (transmission range sensor A, low input) wasn't actually caused by a malfunction in the original, but instead water getting into the taillights caused a short to the one unexpected voltage on the caused rear light cable. , which in turn are somehow connected to this sensor. The specific problems it causes may vary depending on the severity of the short. For me this resulted in the light on the dash showing which gear you were shifting in and out of, also once this happened the car seemed to have a shift lag especially when hitting hard while driving. But once in the transmission it would be fine. You may have the exact same problem with it as it seems to be the most common problem, but you may also have driving problems which I didn't have. models). And that seems to be the true cause of P0705 on this car most of the time. If you have a P0705 and are planning to buy this, you will first need to make sure it is not your taillights in order to fix it. To do this, they must be removed. In the boot, on the headlight, there are 2 simple screws for removing the headlights, as well as a plastic clip that needs to be carefully pushed out with a flathead screwdriver and a rag (so as not to scratch it). It's very easy to do, you don't have to be a mechanic or a tech savvy person. You can easily find a video of this on YouTube by searching (How to remove the rear light or brake lights Nissan Versa 2012-2019). You removed the taillights, just turn off both and check your car. If the problems go away then you know it was the problem. If you've checked the check engine light, which is likely to be on when you have the code, it will not turn off after turning off the taillights until you fix the problem and the vehicle has been driven enough to check and confirm the problem is repaired. If the taillights really seem to be your problem, you may not need to buy new ones, connect them one by one first and test them one by one. See if the problem comes back to any of them, but don't be surprised if you reconnect both taillights and the problem doesn't come back at all, at least not right away, only when they're removed and moved. Tail lights may have shaken off water or dirt and caused a short circuit. If after removing the taillights the problems seem to have gone away and have not recurred even after reconnecting both lights, then I would recommend disassembling the lights yourself and cleaning the inside. You will most likely find some corrosion, or more likely like me, green slimy debris that has accumulated over years as water flows the same path. You will most likely see this dirt trail when you remove the taillights and this immediately becomes a good indicator for you. In any case, it's a good thing as you'll need to know how to do it if you ever need to change the rear lightbulb. With all that said, I'm hoping this can help someone fix P0705 without buying and swapping out a part, which is probably fine. But when you need it, it's the right choice for the vehicles it's designed for.
