CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range (TR) switch assembly consists of five normally open pressure switches and is attached to the valve body. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) supplies battery voltage to each range signal. By grounding one or more of these circuits through various combinations of the pressure switches, the TCM detects what manual valve position has been selected by the vehicle operator. With ignition "ON" and engine "OFF," P/N will be indicated. When transmission electrical connector is disconnected, the ground potential for the three range signals to the TCM will be removed, and with ignition "ON," D2 will be indicated.

DTC CHART TEST DESCRIPTION
Number(s) below refer to circled number(s) on the diagnostic charts.
1. This test checks the indicated range signal to the manual valve position actually selected.
2. This test checks for correct voltage from the TCM to the transmission external connector.
3. This test checks for a short to ground from the TCM to the transmission external connector in any one of the three circuits.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Refer to accompanying chart for various A/B/C range combinations. Check all wiring connectors for proper terminal tension.
