DTC P0705 Non European Emissions

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The transmission control module (TCM) detects more than 2 equal signals from the park/neutral position (PNP) switch circuit for 10 seconds continuously.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • TCM will request the illumination of hold lamp and store the DTC when the TCM detects failures on 2 consecutive ignition cycles
    • TCM judges with the priority--D>2>L>R>N>P
    • No timing solenoid control for N-D
    • No self-learning control
    • No lockup
    • No prevent reverse gear control

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • The TCM turns off the hold lamp when no further failures are detected on the next ignition cycles.
    • The scan tool can clear the DTC from the TCM history.
    • The TCM clears the DTC from the TCM history memory after 40 consecutive ignition cycles without fault.
    • The TCM detects single of the PNP switch.

Cause of Failure
    • Wiring harness or connector between PNP switch and TCM
    • PNP switch
    • TCM
