CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range (TR) switch, which is part of the Park/Neutral Position (PNP), is a multi-signal switch which sends a signal to the PCM to indicate gear selection. The transmission range switch uses 4 discrete circuits to pull 4 PCM voltages low in various combinations to indicate each gear range. The voltage level of the circuits is represented as LO = grounded, HI = open circuit. The 4 states displayed represents the encoder P, A, B, and C inputs in sequence.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
^ The PCM recognizes an invalid PRNDL parameter.
^ The vehicle speed is more than 8 km/h (5 mph).

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The above conditions met for a period more than 5 seconds.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The PCM will record the operating conditions at the time during which the diagnostic fails. This information will store in the Failure Records buffer.
^ A history DTC stores.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
^ A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm up cycles without a fault.
^ Use a scan tool to clear the DTCs.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
^ Monitor a scan tool while moving the related electrical connectors and the wiring harness. If a malfunction is induced, the scan data will change states from either LO to HI, or from HI to LO. Move the gear selector slowly through each gear while monitoring the scan tool in order to help isolate the problem.
^ Thoroughly inspect any suspected circuitry for the following conditions:
- Improper mating
- Broken locks
- Improperly formed or damaged terminals
- Faulty terminal to wiring connections
- Physical damage to the wiring harness
^ When a DTC P0705 sets, the PCM defaults to the 3rd gear until the PCM receives a correct combination. Therefore, some of the selected gear positions may not be possible until you repair the malfunction.
^ If the transmission range switch on the scan tool and the PRNDL on the IPC display a normal reading only in the following gear selections:
- Park, Low, and 2nd gear - Test for an open in the TR switch input B circuit.
- Reverse, Neutral, Overdrive and 3rd gear - Test for a grounded TR switch input B circuit.
- Low, 2nd, 3rd and Overdrive gear - Test for a grounded in the TR switch input C circuit.
- Park, Reverse, and Neutral - Test for an open in the TR switch input C circuit.
- Park, Reverse, 2nd and 3rd gear - Test for a grounded in the TR switch input A circuit.
- Neutral, Overdrive and Low gear -Test for an open in the TR switch input A circuit.
- Park, Neutral, 3rd and Low gear - Test for a grounded in the TR switch input P circuit.
- Reverse 2nd and Overdrive gear - Test for an open in the TR switch input P circuit.

TEST DESCRIPTION
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
4. Thoroughly inspect any suspected circuitry for the following conditions:
^ Backed-out terminals
^ Improper mating
^ Broken locks
^ Improperly formed or damaged terminals
^ Faulty terminal-to-wire connections
^ Physical damage to the wiring harness
5. An invalid circuit will cause the PRNDL display to go out. Connecting a jumper wire to each circuit to ground simulates the transmission range switch operation, and tests the circuitry and the PCM. While the transmission range switch is disconnected and the circuits are not jumpered to ground, the scan tool should indicate a HI value. A value that is indicated as LO with no jumper to ground indicates a grounded circuit or a malfunctioning PCM.
9. The replacement PCM must be programmed and the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn procedure must be performed.
