DTC P0705: Transmission Range Sensor Circuit (PRNDL Input)

Judge NG when the "D" range switch becomes ground short or open circuit.

Inhibitor switch ensures the safety at engine start. This switch is installed to the right side of transmission case, and operated by selector lever.

When the selector lever is in the "P" or "N" range, the engine will start because the electric circuit in inhibitor switch is closed and the starter circuit is connected.

When the selector lever is in the "R", "D", "3", "2" or "1" range, the electric circuit in inhibitor switch is open; therefore, the engine cannot be cranked.

In the "R" range, the back-up light will illuminate because the back-up light circuit in the switch is connected.

In addition to the functions above, the inhibitor switch has the circuit which detects the selected range position at the present and transmits the range signal to the TCM.

• Enable condition A 
  ENABLE CONDITION A
  
  

  Secondary Parameters	Enable Conditions
  Shift	"N" to "3"
  Vehicle speed	"GREATER THAN EQUAL TO" 0 km/h (37 MPH)

• Enable condition B 
  ENABLE CONDITION B
  
  

  Secondary Parameters	Enable Conditions
  Engine speed	> 500 rpm
  Battery voltage	> 10.9 V

• Perform the diagnosis continuously after engine start (Under enable condition A).
• Perform the diagnosis when shift from "N" to "3" range, at more than 60 km/h (37 MPH) (Under enable condition B).

Judgment Value 

Time Needed for Diagnosis: 

• 63.75 seconds (Under enable condition A)
• 10 seconds (Under enable condition B)

  Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination:  Illuminates when malfunction occurs in 2 continuous driving cycles.

• When the OK idling cycle was completed 40 times in a row
• When "Clear Memory" was performed

• When the OK driving cycle was completed 3 times in a row
• When "Clear Memory" was performed

None
