DTC P0706 [JA5A-EL]


DTC P0706	Transaxle range (TR) switch circuit malfunction (open/ground short circuit)
DETECTION CONDITION	• If no range signal is input from the TR switch for 100 s or more, the TCM determines that there is a malfunction. Diagnostic support note: • This is a continuous monitor (CCM). • The MIL illuminates if the TCM detects the above malfunction conditions in two consecutive drive cycles. • PENDING CODE is available. • FREEZE FRAME DATA is available. • The HOLD indicator light flashes. • The DTC is stored in the TCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE	• TR switch malfunction • TR switch misadjustment • Short to ground in wiring harness between TR switch terminal A and TCM terminal 2B • Short to ground in wiring harness between TR switch terminal E and TCM terminal 1W • Short to ground in wiring harness between TR switch terminal D and TCM terminal 1T • Short to ground in wiring harness between TR switch terminal G and TCM terminal 1Z • Short to ground in wiring harness between TR switch terminal I and TCM terminal 1AA • Short to ground in wiring harness between TR switch terminal F and TCM terminal 2C • Open circuit in wiring harness between TR switch terminal A and TCM terminal 2B • Open circuit in wiring harness between TR switch terminal E and TCM terminal 1W • Open circuit in wiring harness between TR switch terminal D and TCM terminal 1T • Open circuit in wiring harness between TR switch terminal G and TCM terminal 1Z • Open circuit in wiring harness between TR switch terminal I and TCM terminal 1AA • Open circuit in wiring harness between TR switch terminal F and TCM terminal 2C • Open circuit in wiring harness between TR switch terminal C and IG key (ACC) • Short to ground in wiring harness between TR switch terminal C and IG key (ACC) • Damaged connector between TR switch and TCM • TCM malfunction


STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED • Has FREEZE FRAME DATA been recorded?	Yes	Go to the next step.
1		No	Record the FREEZE FRAME PID DATA on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2	VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY • Verify related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability. • Is any related repair information available?	Yes	Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information. • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
2		No	Go to the next step.
3	INSPECT TCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION • Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion). • Are the terminals normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
3		No	Repair the terminals, then go to Step 12.
4	INSPECT TR SWITCH CIRCUIT • Inspect the 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 - TCM terminal 1AA • S range: B+ • Other ranges and all positions: 0V - TCM terminal 2C • L range: B+ • Other ranges and all positions: 0V • Are any of the following terminal voltage turned on for even a moment while shifting the selector lever slowly from the P position to L range?	Yes	Adjust the TR switch, then go to Step 12. (See TRANSAXLE RANGE (TR) SWITCH ADJUSTMENT [JA5A-EL].)
4		No	Go to the next step.
5	INSPECT TR SWITCH CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION • Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion). • Are the terminals normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
5		No	Repair the terminals, then go to Step 12.
6	INSPECT TR SWITCH CIRCUIT • Disconnect the TR switch connector. • Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (engine off). • Connect the wiring harness-side connector power line and signal line using a jumper wire - P position: C and A - R position: C and E - N position: C and D - D range: C and G - S range: C and I - L range: C and F • Inspect if the terminal voltage changes. - 0 V to B+ • Does the terminal voltage change?	Yes	Go to the next step.
6		No	Go to Step 9.
7	INSPECT TR SWITCH FOR OPEN CIRCUIT • Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. • Inspect for 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 - S range: C and I - L range: C and F • Is there continuity between TR switch terminals (part side)? (See TRANSAXLE RANGE (TR) SWITCH INSPECTION [JA5A-EL].)	Yes	Go to Step 12.
7		No	Replace the TR switch, then go to Step 12. (See TRANSAXLE RANGE (TR) SWITCH REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [JA5A-EL].)
8	INSPECT TR SWITCH POWER CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT • Inspect the voltage at TR switch terminal C (wiring harness-side). • Is there B+ at TR switch terminal C (wiring harness-side)?	Yes	Go to the next step.
8		No	Inspect the main fuse. • If normal, repair or replace the wiring harness, then go to Step 12.
9	INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION • Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion). • Are the terminals normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
9		No	Repair the terminals, then go to Step 12.
10	INSPECT TR SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT • Inspect for continuity between TR switch terminals (wiring harness-side) and TCM terminals (wiring harness-side). - P position: A and 2B - R position: E and 1W - N position: D and 1T - D range: G and 1Z - S range: I and 1AA - L range: F and 2C • Is there continuity?	Yes	Go to the next step.
10		No	Repair or replace the wiring harness, then go to Step 12.
11	INSPECT TR SWITCH CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND • Inspect for continuity between TCM terminals (wiring 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 - S range: 1AA and body ground - L range: 2C and body ground • Is there continuity?	Yes	Go to the next step.
11		No	Repair or replace the wiring harness, then go to the next step.
12	VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0706 COMPLETED • Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors. • Clear the DTC from the TCM memory using the WDS or equivalent. • Drive the vehicle in each range (P, R, N, D, S, and L) for 100 s or more. • Is there pending code?	Yes	Replace the TCM, then go to the next step. (See TCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [JA5A-EL].)
12		No	Go to the next step.
13	VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE • Perform the "After Repair Procedure". (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE [JA5A-EL].) • Are any DTCs present?	Yes	Go to the applicable DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE [JA5A-EL].)
13		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
