To my knowledge, the PNP switch is not available separately; one has to get the TCM/Valve body assembly replaced and I believe the new assembly has to be initialized to the vehicle using a capable scan tool or CONSULT III.
I have 170,000 miles on my 06 LE, which I purchased with 84,000 miles on it. At that point, the previous owner had already had the fuel pump module w/ sender replaced and the upper timing chains replaced. He also had replaced the left bank, upstream catalytic converter and oxygen sensor. He also had the EGI relay replaced under recall. Otherwise, it was pretty much just general service.
Since I got it, I had to replace the right bank, upstream catalytic converter; I also replaced the front oxygen sensor, as well, while I was in there. The bolt for the primary chain tensioner, which I suspect was over-tightened when the chains were replaced, so, I tore that apart and replaced all of the chains, tensioner faces, primary tensioner and a couple of guides. I replaced the power steering suction hose because of leaking and replaced the radiator as preventative maintenance to avoid the cooler leak issue. Oh, I also had a leaking front strut when I first purchased it and the "belt squeak" which was cured by the updated belt and tensioner; both of these were taken care of by the selling dealer. Later, I replaced the other front strut just because the other had been replaced. Also, has a front propeller shaft U-joint go bad, so I replaced all of the U-joints. I replaced all of the TPMS sensors due to bad or weak batteries. Other than those items, she's been pretty solid. Everything else has just been scheduled maintenance or upgrades that I chose to do.
