| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0705/C2 | Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Malfunction (PRNDL Input) |
DESCRIPTION
The park/neutral position switch detects the shift lever position and sends signals to the TCM.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P0705/C2 | Any 2 or more signals of the following are ON simultaneously. (2-trip detection logic)
|
|
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
These DTCs indicate a problem with the park/neutral position switch and the wire harness in the park/neutral position switch circuit.
The park/neutral position switch detects the shift lever position and sends a signal to the TCM.
For security, the park/neutral position switch detects the shift lever position so that engine can be started only when the shift lever is in the P or N position.
The park/neutral position switch sends a signal to the TCM according to the shift position (P, R, N, D, 3, 2 or L).
The TCM determines that there is a problem with the switch or related parts if it receives more than 1 position signal simultaneously. The TCM will turn on the MIL and store the DTC.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
DATA LIST
Using the intelligent tester to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.
In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.
Warm up the engine.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Turn on the tester.
Select the item "Enter / Powertrain / ECT / Data List".
Follow the instructions on the tester and read the Data List.

PROCEDURE
INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY
Jack up the vehicle.
Disconnect the park/neutral position switch connector.
Measure the resistance when the shift lever is moved to each position.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
INSPECT SHIFT LOCK CONTROL UNIT ASSEMBLY
Connect the park/neutral position switch connector.
Disconnect the transmission control switch connector of shift lock control unit assembly.
Measure the resistance when the shift lever is moved to each position.

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH - TCM)
Connect the transmission control switch connector of shift lock control unit assembly.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and measure the voltage when the shift lever is moved to each position.

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH - TCM)
Disconnect the TCM connector.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and measure the voltage when the shift lever is moved to each position.
