DTC P0705 Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Malfunction (PRNDL Input)

DESCRIPTION

DTC Detection Condition:

When the shift lever is in the N or P position: 1) the Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch turns on, and 2) ECM terminal NSW is grounded to the body ground via the starter relay and voltage becomes 0 V. When the shift lever is in the D, 2, L or R position: 1) the PNP switch turns off, and 2) ECM terminal NSW receives current and becomes the voltage of the ECM internal power source.

If the shift lever is moved from the N position to the D position, this signal is used for air-fuel ratio correction and for idle speed control (estimated control).

HINT: After confirming DTC P0705, use the intelligent tester to confirm the PNP switch signal in the ALL menu (to reach the ALL menu: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / ALL).

HINT: Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester or the OBD II scan tool. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
