The Transaxle Range Switch sends the shift lever position information to the TCM(PCM) 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(PCM) 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.
Item | Detecting Condition | Possible Cause |
DTC Strategy | ● Check for No signal | ● Open or short in circuit ● Faulty Shift cable adjustment ● Faulty Inhibitor switch and Manual control lever position adjustment ● Faulty TRANSAXLE RANGE SWITCH ● Faulty TCM(PCM) |
Enable Conditions | ● Continuous | |
Threshold Value | ● No signal detected | |
Diagnostic Time | ● More than 30sec | |
Fail Safe | ● Recognition as previous signal - 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) |
