DTC P0706

Transaxle range (TR) switch circuit malfunction (open/ground short circuit)

DETECTION CONDITION

• No range signal is input from TR switch for 100 s or more.
Diagnostic support note:
• This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
• MIL illuminates if TCM detects the above malfunction conditions in two consecutive drive cycles.
• PENDING CODE is available.
• FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
• AT warning light does not indication.
• DTC is stored in TCM memory.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• TR switch malfunction.
• TR switch misadjustment
• Short to ground between TR switch terminal A and TCM terminal 2B
• Short to ground between TR switch terminal E and TCM terminal 1W
• Short to ground between TR switch terminal D and TCM terminal 1T
• Short to ground between TR switch terminal G and TCM terminal 1Z
• Open circuit between TR switch terminal A and TCM terminal 2B
• Open circuit between TR switch terminal E and TCM terminal 1W
• Open circuit between TR switch terminal D and TCM terminal 1T
• Open circuit between TR switch terminal G and TCM terminal 1Z
• Open circuit between TR switch terminal C and IG key (ACC)
• Short to ground between TR switch terminal C and IG key (ACC)
• Damaged connector between TR switch and TCM.
• TCM malfunction.

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED
• Has FREEZE FRAME PID DATA been recorded?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Record FREEZE FRAME PID DATA on repair order, then go to next step.
2
VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
• Check for related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability.
• Is any related repair information available?
Yes
Perform repair or diagnosis according to available repair information.
• If vehicle is not repaired, go to next step.
No
Go to next step.
3
INSPECT TCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION
• Turn ignition key to OFF.
• Check for poor connection (damaged pulled-out terminals, corrosion, etc.).
• Are terminals okay?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Repair terminals, then go to Step 12.
4
INSPECT TR SWITCH CIRCUIT
• Connect voltmeter to TCM.
• Inspect TCM terminal voltage.
- TCM terminal 2B
• P position: B+
• Other positions and all ranges: 0V
- TCM terminal 1W
• R position: B+
• Other position and all ranges: 0V
- TCM terminal 1T
• N position: B+
• Other position and all range: 0V
- TCM terminal 1Z
• D range: B+
• Other ranges and all positions: 0V
• Are any of following terminal voltage turned on for even a moment while shifting selector lever slowly from P position to D range?
Yes
Adjust TR switch, then go to Step 12.
No
Go to next step.
5
INSPECT TR SWITCH CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION
• Turn ignition key to OFF.
• Check for poor connection (damaged pulled-out terminals, corrosion, etc.).
• Are terminals okay?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Repair terminals, then go to Step 12.
6
INSPECT TR SWITCH CIRCUIT
• Disconnect TR switch connector.
• Connect voltmeter to TCM.
• Turn ignition key to ON (engine OFF).
• Connect harness side connector power line and signal line using jumper wire
- P position: C and A
- R position: C and E
- N position: C and D
- D range: C and G
• Inspect if terminal voltage changes.
- 0V to B+
• Does terminal voltage change?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Go to Step 9.
7
INSPECT TR SWITCH FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
• Turn ignition key to OFF.
• Inspect continuity between TR switch terminals (part side).
- P position: C and A
- R position: C and E
- N position: C and D
- D range: C and G
• Is there continuity between TR switch terminals (part side)?
Yes
Go to Step 12.
No
Replace TR switch, then go to Step 12.
8
INSPECT TR SWITCH POWER CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
• Check voltage at TR switch terminal C (harness-side).
• Is there B+ at TR switch terminal C (harness-side)?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Inspect main fuse.
• If okay, repair or replace wiring, then go to Step 12.
9
INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION
• Turn ignition key to OFF.
• Check for poor connection (damaged pulled-out terminals, corrosion, etc.).
• Are terminals okay?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Repair terminals, then go to Step 12.
10
INSPECT TR SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
• Check continuity between TR switch terminals (harness-side) and TCM terminals (harness-side).
- P position: A and 2B
- R position: E and 1W
- N position: D and 1T
- D range: G and 1Z
• Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Repair or replace harness, then go to Step 12.
11
INSPECT TR SWITCH CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
• Check continuity between TCM terminals (harness-side) and body ground.
- P position: 2B and body ground
- R position: 1W and body ground
- N position: 1T and body ground
- D range: 1Z and body ground
• Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Repair or replace harness, then go to next step.
12
VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0706 COMPLETED
• Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
• Clear DTC from memory using WDS or equivalent.
• Drive vehicle in each range (P, R, N, and D) for 100 s or more.
• Is there pending code present?
Yes
Replace TCM, then go to next step.
No
Go to next step.
13
VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE
