Pinpoint Tests - OSC Equipped Vehicle

Special Tool(s)
Fluke 77-IV Digital Multimeter
FLU77-4 or equivalent

Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) and Integrated

Diagnostic System (IDS) software with appropriate
hardware, or equivalent scan tool

When the electrical connector or solenoid body is disconnected, inspect the connector for terminal condition, corrosion and
contamination. Also inspect the connector seal for damage. Clean, repair or install new components as required.

Power is routed through the Transmission Solenoid Power Control (TSPC) relay (inside the PCM) to all transmission solenoids. If
the power circuit to the transmission solenoids or the TSPC relay fails open, then all solenoids are failed electrically OFF. CHECK
for open, short to ground or the transmission connector disconnected. The TSPC relay will disable power to the transmission
solenoids when certain transmission DTCs are set.

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 30 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The TRsensor has a set of Hall-effect sensors that have a pattern of ON/OFF states which are dependent on the PARK, REVERSE,
NEUTRAL, DRIVE, 3, 2 or 1 position of the manual valve. The TRsensor has digital sensor (hall effect) that converts the shifter
position into a bit pattern, and a micro controller that converts the 4 bit signal into a 125 Hz pulse width modulated signal. The
TRsensor also provides signals for the starting system and the reverse lights. The PCM uses the TRsensor signal as an input for its
strategy for shifting and TCCoperation. The PCM also uses the TRsensor signal for transmission fault detection and diagnostics.
The TRsensor is integral to the leadframe. DTCs P0705, P0706, P0707, P0708, P0709, P1702 and P1921 cannot be set by an
incorrectly adjusted selector lever cable.

DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition

P0705 - Transmission Range Sensor This DTCsets with DTCP1702. The PCM sets this DTCwhen it has detected the TRsensor
"A" Circuit (PRNDL Input) sensor signal duty cycle is within range but does not match the calibrated bit pattern.
P0706 - Transmission Range Sensor This DTCsets with DTCP1702. The PCM sets this DTCwhen it has detected a TRsensor
"A" Circuit Range/Performance signal duty cycle that is out of range.
P0707 - Transmission Range Sensor This DTCsets with DTCP1702. The PCM detected a TRsensor signal duty cycle is out of
"A" Circuit Low range.
P0708 - Transmission Range Sensor This DTCsets with DTCP1702. The PCM detected a TRsensor signal duty cycle is out of
"A" Circuit High range.
P0709 - Transmission Range Sensor This DTCsets with DTCP1702. The PCM detected a TRsensor signal duty cycle is not out
"A" Circuit Intermittent of range but is invalid.
P1702 - Transmission Range Sensor This DTCsets with P0705, P0706, P0707, P0708 or P0709, service P1702 last. The PCM
Circuit Intermittent detected that the TRsensor signal duty cycle is not out of range but is invalid.
P1921 - Transmission Range Signal This DTCsets with P0705, P0706, P0707, P0708 or P0709, service P1921 last. The PCM
detected that the TRsensor signal duty cycle is out of range.

Are Transmission Range (TR) sensor DTCs present?

Yes GO to C2.
No If no DTCs are present, REFER to Diagnosis By Symptomto diagnose any symptoms that may be
present.

C2 CHECK TRSENSOR ELECTRICAL OPERATION
