The Transaxle Range Switch sends the shift lever position information to the TCM using a 12V (battery voltage) signal. When the shift lever is in the D (Drive) position the output signal of Tansaxle Range Switch is 12V and in all other positions the voltage is 0V. The TCM judges the shift lever position by reading all signals, for the Transaxle Range Switch, simultaneously.
The TCM sets this code when the Transaxle Range Switch outputs multiple signals for more than 30 seconds.
Item
Detecting Condition
Possible Cause
DTC Strategy
? Check for multiple signals
? Open or short in TRANSAXLE RANGE SWITCH
? Faulty Shift cable adjustment
? Faulty Inhibitor switch and Manual control lever position adjustment
? Faulty TRANSAXLE RANGE SWITCH
? Faulty TCM(PCM)
Enable Conditions
? IG "ON"
? Not FailSafe Status
Threshold Value
? Multiple signal
Diagnostic Time
? More than 30sec
Fail Safe
? Recognition as previous signal
- When signal is input "D" and "N" at the same time,TCM regards it as "N" RANGE.
- After PCM/TCM Reset,If the if the PCM/TCM detects multiple signal or no signal, then it holds the 3rd gear position.
