DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC P0706 Transmission Range Switch Circuit Malfunction (Short)

Conditions for Setting the DTC

* The transmission control module (TCM) detects more than 2 or more signals from the park/neutral position (PNP) switch circuit for 2 seconds continuously.
* Detection continuously occurs 5 times.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The TCM will request the illumination of Hold/Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) and store the DTC when the TCM detects failures on 2 consecutive ignition cycles.
* The TCM judges with the priority - D>2>L>R>N>P
* No timing solenoid control for N-D
* No self-learning control
* No lockup
* No preventative reverse gear control.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The TCM turns OFF the Hold/Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) when no further failures are detected on the next 3 consecutive ignition cycles.
* The scan tool can clear the DTC from the TCM history.
* The TCM clears the DTC from the TCM history memory after 40 consecutive ignition cycles without fault.
* The TCM detects single "D range" signal from the PNP switch.

Cause of Failure

* The wiring harness or connector between the PNP switch and the TCM
* The PNP switch
* The TCM
