Circuit Description

The transmission range (TR) switch is part of the park/neutral position (PNP) and back-up lamp
switch assembly, which is externally mounted on the transmission manual shaft. The TR switch
contains four internal switches that indicate the transmission gear range selector lever position.
The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies ignition voltage to each switch circuit. As the
gear range selector lever is moved, the state of each switch may change, causing the circuit to
open or close. An open circuit or switch indicates a high voltage signal. A closed circuit or switch
indicates a low voltage signal. The PCM detects the selected gear range by deciphering the
combination of the voltage signals. The PCM compares the actual voltage combination of the
switch signals to a TR switch combination chart stored in memory.

Diagnostic Aids

Refer to the Transmission Range Switch Logic table for valid combinations of switch signal
circuits A, B, C and Parity. On the table, HI indicates an ignition voltage signal. LOW indicates a
zero voltage signal.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

4: By disconnecting the TR switch, the ground path of all TR switch circuits is removed and
the PCM should recognize all circuits as open. The scan tool should display HI for all range
signal states.

5: This step tests the TR switch wiring for an open or the lack of the signal voltage from the
PCM.

6: This step tests the TR switch wiring and the PCM by providing a ground path through a
fused jumper wire. When grounded, the scan tool range signal states should change to LOW.

7: This step tests the TR switch wiring and the PCM by providing a ground path through a
fused jumper wire. When grounded, the scan tool range signal states should change to LOW.

8: This step tests the TR switch wiring and the PCM by providing a ground path through a
fused jumper wire. When grounded, the scan tool range signal states should change to LOW.

9: This step tests the TR switch wiring and the PCM by providing a ground path through a
fused jumper wire. When grounded, the scan tool range signal states should change to LOW.
