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 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.
