Possible causes:

TR switch malfunction.
Damaged wiring or connectors between TR switch and TCM.
Damaged wiring or connectors between TR switch and METER fuse (10-amp).
TCM failure.
Diagnostic Procedure
1. Ensure all appropriate connections are clean and tight. Repair as needed. Disconnect TR switch
connector. Turn ignition ON. Using DVOM, measure voltage between ground and TR switch
harness connector terminal No. 5. If battery voltage is not present, check METER fuse (10-
amp) circuit. If battery voltage is present, go to next step.
2. Turn ignition ON. Using DVOM, measure voltage by backprobing between specified TCM
terminals and ground. See TCM VOLTAGE OUTPUT TEST table. Proceed as follows:
o If all voltages are within specification, go to step 7
o If voltage is present on terminal No. 8, 36, 37 or 47 when gear selector is in "All Other
Positions", go to step 5.
o If voltage is zero on terminal No. 18 when gear selector lever is in "All Other Positions", go to
step 6.
o If voltage is less than battery voltage when gear selector is in "R", "D", "2" or "1" position, or
more than zero when gear selector is in "P" or "N" position, go to next step.
TCM VOLTAGE OUTPUT TEST

TCM Terminal No. Measured Voltage Gear Selector Position
8 B+ "D"
8 0 All Other Positions
18 0 "P" Or "N"
18 8-8.5 All Other Positions
36 B+ "2"
36 0 All Other Positions
37 B+ "1"
37 0 All Other Positions
TCM Terminal No. Measured Voltage Gear Selector Position
47 B+ "R"
47 0 All Other Positions
3. Disconnect negative battery cable. Disconnect TR switch connector. Inspect continuity of TR
switch internal circuits. See TRANSAXLE RANGE SWITCH under COMPONENT TESTS.
Replace as needed. If TR switch is okay, go to next step.
4. Check continuity of circuits between TR switch and TCM. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . Repair
as needed.
5. Disconnect TR switch connector and measure voltage at TCM terminals No. 8, 36, 37 or 47
when gear selector is in "All Other Positions". See TCM VOLTAGE OUTPUT TEST table. If
voltage drops to zero on all terminals, replace TR switch. If voltage is present on any terminal,
repair short to voltage on affected circuit between TCM and TR switch. See WIRING
DIAGRAMS .
6. Disconnect TR switch and measure voltage at TCM terminal No. 18 again. If voltage is now
within specification, replace TR switch. If voltage remains at zero, repair short to ground in
affected circuit between TR switch and TCM. See WIRING DIAGRAMS .
7. Reconnect negative battery cable. Road test vehicle. Retrieve DTCs. If DTC P0705 is still
present, replace TCM. See TRANSAXLE CONTROL MODULE under REMOVAL &
INSTALLATION. If DTC P0705 is no longer present, problem may be caused by poor
connection. Repair as needed.
