P0705

Circuit Description
The transaxle range switch sends gear position signals to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) according to the manual selector range. The PCM uses this information in order to manage the transaxle operation.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P0705 will set if the following conditions are met:
^ The PCM receives no transaxle range switch signal with the ignition switch ON.
^ The PCM receives multiple signals simultaneously while in Drive (D) in 3rd gear for 5 seconds.
^ One driving cycle detection logic.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
A DTC P0705 is stored and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is turned ON.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the transaxle range switch for the following conditions:
^ Correct adjustment
^ Correct operation
The electrical circuits are located between the transaxle range and the PCM.
Inspect the electrical circuits for the following conditions:
^ Open
^ Short to voltage
^ Short to ground
Inspect the PCM for correction operation. An intermittent may be caused by the following conditions:
^ A poor connection
^ Rubbed through wire insulation
^ A broken wire inside the insulation
Inspect the PCM harness connectors for the following conditions:
^ Backed out terminals
^ Improper mating
^ Broken locks
^ Improperly formed or damaged terminals
^ Poor terminal-to-wire connections
Perform the following steps if DTC P0705 cannot be duplicated:
1. Read the information in the freeze frame data.
2. Use the data to determine the vehicle operating conditions when the DTC was set.
Inspect the wiring. If any wiring repairs are necessary, refer to Diagrams.

DTC Confirmation Procedure
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK.
2. Connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4. Use the scan tool in order to clear the following items from the PCM memory:
^ The DTC
^ The pending DTC
^ The freeze frame data
5. Start the engine.
6. Step firmly on the brake pedal.
7. Shift the manual selector to each of the ranges (R, N, D, 2, L) for 30 seconds each.
8. Operate the vehicle in Drive (D). Obtain a speed of 70 km/h (44 mph) for 30seconds. 9. Stop the vehicle.
10. Use the scan tool in order to inspect for DTC P0705.

Test Description
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) Powertrain Diagnostic table.
1. The Powertrain OBD System Check prompts the technician to complete some basic checks and store the freeze frame data on the scan tool if applicable. This creates an electronic copy of the data taken when the fault occurred. The information is then stored in the scan tool for later reference.
2. This step inspects the D position signal circuit.
3. This step inspects the L position signal circuit.
4. This step inspects the N position signal circuit.
5. This step inspects the 2 position signal circuit.
6. This step inspects the R position signal circuit.
7. This step inspects for poor terminal contact at the PCM.
8. This step inspects for a faulty PCM.
9. This step inspects for a short to voltage in the D position.
10. This step inspects for a short to ground in the D position.
11. This step inspects for an open in the D position.
12. This step inspects for an open in YEL-wire.
13. This step inspects for a short to voltage in the L position.
14. This step inspects for a short to ground in the L position.
15. This step inspects for an open in the L position.
16. This step inspects for a short to voltage in the N position.
17. This step inspects for a short to ground in the N position.
18. This step inspects for an open in the N position.
19. This step inspects for a short to voltage in the 2 position.
20. This step inspects for a short to ground in the 2 position.
21. This step inspects for an open in the 2 position.
22. This step inspects for a short to voltage in the R position.
23. This step inspects for a short to ground in the R position.
24. This step inspects for an open in the R position.
