## DTC Troubleshooting: P0705 (5-2)

DTC P0705: | Short in Transmission Range Switch Circuit (short to ground)

### For KB, KE, KG, and KQ Models

NOTE:

- Record all freeze data and review General Troubleshooting Information before you troubleshoot.
- The illustration shows the example of connector terminal arrangement; connector terminal arrangement varies with the models.

1. | Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

2. | Observe the A/T gear position indicator, and shift each position separately. Do any indicators stay on when the shift lever is not in that position? YES - Go to 3. NO - Go to 7.

3. | Disconnect the transmission range switch connector. Do all gear position indicators go out? YES - Replace the transmission range switch.n NO - Go to 4.

4. | Turn the ignition switch OFF.

5. | Test the transmission range switch. Is the switch OK? YES - Go to 6. NO - Replace the transmission range switch.n

6. | Connect the transmission range switch connector.

7. | Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

8. | Shift to all positions other than R.

9. | Measure the voltage between PCM connector terminals C10 and A23 or A24. Is there about 10 V? YES - Go to 15. NO - Go to 10.

10. | Turn the ignition switch OFF.

11. | Disconnect PCM connector C (22P).

12. | Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal C10 and body ground. Is there continuity? YES - Repair short in the wire between PCM connector terminal C10 and the transmission range switch or A/T gear position indicator.n NO - Go to 13.

13. | Disconnect PCM connector A (31P).

14. | Check for continuity between PCM connector terminals A23 and body ground, and between A24 and body ground. Is there continuity? YES - Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good PCM, replace the original PCM.n NO - Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminals A23 and A24, and ground (G101), or repair poor ground (G101).n

15. | Shift to all positions other than P and N.

16. | Measure the voltage between PCM connector terminals C12 and A23 or A24. Is there about 5 V? YES - Go to 20. NO - Go to 17.

17. | Turn the ignition switch OFF.

18. | Disconnect PCM connector C (22P).

19. | Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal C12 and body ground. Is there continuity? YES - Repair short in the wire between PCM connector terminal C12 and the transmission range switch.n NO - Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good PCM, replace the original PCM.n

20. | Shift to all positions other than D.

21. | Measure the voltage between PCM connector terminals C20 and A23 or A24. Is there about 5 V? YES - Go to 25. NO - Go to 22.

22. | Turn the ignition switch OFF.

23. | Disconnect PCM connector C (22P).

24. | Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal C20 and body ground. Is there continuity? YES - Repair short in the wire between PCM connector terminal C20 and the transmission range switch.n NO - Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good PCM, replace the original PCM.n

25. | Shift to all positions other than S.

26. | Measure the voltage between PCM connector terminals C9 and A23 or A24. Is there about 10 V? YES - Go to 30. NO - Go to 27.

27. | Turn the ignition switch OFF.

28. | Disconnect PCM connector C (22P).

29. | Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal C9 and body ground. Is there continuity? YES - Repair short in the wire between PCM connector terminal C9 and the transmission range switch or A/T gear position indicator.n NO - Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good PCM, replace the original PCM.n

30. | Shift to all positions other than L.

31. | Measure the voltage between PCM connector terminals C11 and A23 or A24. Is there about 10 V? YES - Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good PCM, replace the original PCM.n NO - Go to 32.

32. | Turn the ignition switch OFF.

33. | Disconnect PCM connector C (22P).

34. | Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal C11 and body ground. Is there continuity? YES - Repair short in the wire between PCM connector terminal C11 and the transmission range switch or A/T gear position indicator.n NO - Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good PCM, replace the original PCM.n
