The transmission range switch is attached to a control shaft. Operating the shift lever makes the control shaft rotate via the shift cable. The A/T gear position indicator shows which position is selected according to the Low/High signal combinations, which vary based on the control shaft rotational angle. Signals from the transmission range switch are used to determine forward/neutral/reverse. The voltage is high (5 V or 12 V) at the powertrain control module (PCM) input terminal when each transmission range switch position is open, and it is low (0 V) when each switch is closed. If the PCM detects multiple switch inputs instead of the correct switch input for the selected range at that time, it detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Diagnosis Details 

Conditions for setting the DTC 

When a malfunction is detected, the A/T gear position indicator blinks and a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the PCM memory. The MIL does not come on.

Conditions for clearing the DTC 

The A/T gear position indicator comes off by turning the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode. The Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the 12 volt battery.
