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 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 PCM |
Enable Conditions | ● Battery Voltage ≥ 10V | |
Threshold Value | ● Multiple signal | |
Diagnostic Time | ● More than 10sec | |
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. |
Connect scantool to data link connector(DLC)

Does "TRANSAXLE RANGE SWITCH" follow the referance data?
 | ▶ Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor's and/or TCM(PCM)'s connector or was repaired and TCM(PCM) memory was not cleared. Throughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration or damage.Repair or replace as necessary and go to "Verification Vehicle Repair" procedure. |
 | ▶ Go to "W/Harness Inspection" procedure. |
※ Most of fault that happen about inhibitor switch, result from faulty shift cable adjustment or incorrect location of manual control lever and inhibitor switch. So, when DTC which related Inhibitor switch or engine start defectiveness at "P" range happen, After check the shift cable adjustment or location of manual control lever and inhibitor switch, repair or replace as necessary.
Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
Has a problem been found?
| ▶ Repair as necessary and go to "Verification vehicle Repair" procedure |
| ▶ Go to "Power Circuit Inspection" procedure. |
Disconnect "TRANSAXLE RANGE SWITCH" connector.
Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF".
Measure voltage between each teminal of the sensor harness connector and chassis ground.

| ▶ Substitute with a known-good PCM/TCM and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace PCM/TCM and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.. |
| ▶ Replace "TRANSAXLE RANGE SWITCH" as necessary and Go to "Verification Vehicle Repair" procedure. |
After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
Connect scan tool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode.
Using a scantool, Clear DTC.
Operate the vehicle within DTC Enable conditions in General information.
Are any DTCs present ?
| ▶ Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure. |
| ▶ System performing to specification at this time. |
