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(PCM) sets this code when the Transaxle Range Switch has no output signal for more than 30 seconds.

- When P-D or R-D or D-R SHIFT is detected, it is regarded as N-D or N-R though "N" signal is not detected.
- When sports mode S/W is ON without P,R,N, D-RANGE signals, it is regarded sports mode.(DTC is not set)
