INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH
INSPECT SHIFT LOCK CONTROL ECU
CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TCM - BATTERY)
DTC P0705/C2 Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Malfunction (PRNDL Input) |
DESCRIPTION
The Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch detects the shift lever position and sends signals to the TCM.DTC Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
P0705/C2 | When either condition below is met (2 trip detection logic):

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates a problem with the park/neutral position switch or the wire harness in the park/neutral position switch circuit.The park/neutral position switch detects the shift lever position and sends a signal to the TCM.
For security, the park/neutral position switch detects the shift lever position so that the engine can be started only when the shift lever is in P or N.
The park/neutral position switch sends a signal to the TCM according to the shift lever position (R, D, 3, 2 or L).
The TCM determines that there is a problem with the switch or related parts if it receives more than 1 position signal simultaneously, or no position signals. The TCM will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- HINT:
- Using the Data List of the intelligent tester allows switch, sensor, actuator and other item values to be read without removing any parts. Reading the Data List early in troubleshooting is one way to save time.
- Warm up the engine.
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON and push the tester main switch on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Data List.
- Follow the instructions on the tester and read the Data List.
Tester Display | Measurement Item/Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
Neutral Position SW Signal | PNP switch status/ ON or OFF | Shift lever is: In P or N: ON Not in P or N: OFF | When the shift lever position displayed on the intelligent tester differs from the actual position, the adjustment of the PNP switch or shift cable may be incorrect. |
Shift SW Status (R Range) | PNP switch status/ ON or OFF | Shift lever is: In R: ON Not in R: OFF | When the shift lever position displayed on the intelligent tester differs from the actual position, the adjustment of the PNP switch or shift cable may be incorrect. |
Shift SW Status (D or 3 Range) | PNP switch status/ ON or OFF | Shift lever is: In D or 3: ON Not in D or 3: OFF | When the shift lever position displayed on the intelligent tester differs from the actual position, the adjustment of the PNP switch or shift cable may be incorrect. |
Shift SW Status (2 Range) | PNP switch status/ ON or OFF | Shift lever is: In 2: ON Not in 2: OFF | When the shift lever position displayed on the intelligent tester differs from the actual position, the adjustment of the PNP switch or shift cable may be incorrect. |
Shift SW Status (L Range) | PNP switch status/ ON or OFF | Shift lever is: In L: ON Not in L: OFF | When the shift lever position displayed on the intelligent tester differs from the actual position, the adjustment of the PNP switch or shift cable may be incorrect. |
- NOTICE:
- In the table above, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.
1.INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH |
Disconnect the N1 park/neutral position switch connector.
![]() |
Measure the resistance of the park/neutral position switch when the shift lever is moved to each position.
- Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection Shift Lever Position Specified Condition 4 (B) - 5 (L) P or N Below 1 Ω 4 (B) - 5 (L) Not in P or N 10 kΩ or higher 1 (RL) - 2 (RB) R Below 1 Ω 1 (RL) - 2 (RB) Not in R 10 kΩ or higher 2 (RB) - 7 (DL) D Below 1 Ω 2 (RB) - 7 (DL) Not in D 10 kΩ or higher 2 (RB) - 3 (2L) 2 Below 1 Ω 2 (RB) - 3 (2L) Not in 2 10 kΩ or higher 2 (RB) - 8 (LL) L Below 1 Ω 2 (RB) - 8 (LL) Not in L 10 kΩ or higher

OK | |
2.INSPECT SHIFT LOCK CONTROL ECU |
Disconnect the S11 ECU connector.
![]() |
Measure the resistance of the ECU when the shift lever is moved to each position.
- Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection Shift Lever Position Specified Condition 9 (NSSD) - 3 (AT3) D 10 kΩ or higher 9 (NSSD) - 3 (AT3) 3 Below 1 Ω
|
| ||||
OK | |
3.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TCM - BATTERY) |
![]() |
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connectors.
- Standard Voltage:
Tester Connection Shift Lever Position Specified Condition T19-12 (NSW) - Body ground P or N Below 1 V T19-12 (NSW) - Body ground Not in P or N 11 to 14 V T18-9 (R) - Body ground R 11 to 14 V* T18-9 (R) - Body ground Not in R Below 1 V T18-8 (D) - Body ground D or 3 11 to 14 V T18-8 (D) - Body ground Not in D or 3 Below 1 V T18-12 (3) - Body ground 3 11 to 14 V T18-12 (3) - Body ground Not in 3 Below 1 V T18-11 (2) - Body ground 2 or L 11 to 14 V T18-11 (2) - Body ground Not in 2 or L Below 1 V T18-10 (L) - Body ground L 11 to 14 V T18-10 (L) - Body ground Not in L Below 1 V
- HINT:
- *: The voltage will drop slightly due to the illumination of the back-up light.
