DTC P0705: Short in Transmission Range Switch Circuit (Multiple Shift-position Input): General Description

The transmission range switch is attached to the control shaft. Operating the shift lever makes the control shaft rotate via the shift cable. The A/T gear position indicator indicates which position is selected according to the five Low/High signal combinations which vary based on the control shaft rotational angle. The control shaft changes the position of the transmission range switch, activates the manual valve, and switches hydraulic pressure to shift the transmission through forward/neutral/reverse. The transmission range switch signal is used to determine the shift schedule. The voltage is 5 V (High) at the transmission control module (TCM) input terminal when each transmission range switch position is open, and it is 0 V (Low) when each switch is closed. If the TCM detects a different range switch input instead of the correct switch input (see ) in the selected range at that time, it detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
