DTC P0705

Diagnostic Instructions

    • Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
    • Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
    • Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptor

DTC P0705 : Transmission Range (TR) Switch Circuit

Circuit/System Description

The transmission range (TR) switch is part of the park/neutral position (PNP) switch and is mounted on the transmission manual shaft. The TR switch is a multi-signal switch. The position signal is sent to the engine control module (ECM) by the transmission control module (TCM) using the CAN system.

When the powertrain control module (PCM) detects an invalid combination of TR switch signals, then DTC P0705 sets.

Conditions for Running the DTC

    • The voltage of the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor is between 0.1 and 2.4 V.
    • The vehicle speed is more than 10 km/h (6 mph).
    • Engine speed is greater than 500 RPM.
    • Throttle position is greater than 13 percent.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

No input signal from the TR switch is for more than 60 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • DTC P0705 is a Type B DTC.
    • Lock-up control is inhibited.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P0705 is a Type B DTC.

Circuit/System Verification

  1. Ignition ON, engine OFF, observe the scan tool TR Sw. parameter while moving the gear lever from Park, to Reverse and through all the ranges. The parameter should match each gear range that is selected.
  2. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the wiring harness plug at the B81 PNP Switch.
  2. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool TR. Sw. parameter indicate HI for all range signal states.
  3. If not the specified value, test each signal circuit for a short circuit to ground. If all circuits test normal, replace the K71 TCM.
  4. Test the TR signal circuits of the B81 PNP Switch that did not indicate proper voltage for open.
  5. If not the specified value, test the ground circuit of the B81 PNP Switch for an open circuit.
  6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B81 PNP Switch.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
