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 PCM/TCM sets this code when the Transaxle Range Switch outputs multiple signals for an extended period of time.
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 PCM |
Enable Conditions | ● Battery voltage ≥ 9V | |
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. |
