DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame
P1717 Transmission Range Switch ATP RVS Switch (Open or Short)      

DTC (A/T)

  1. Problem verification

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 2. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS with the shift lever in R.

    Signal Threshold Current conditions
    Values Unit Values Unit
    Reverse Switch(ATPRVS) ON      

    Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

    YES 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections and loose terminals between the transmission range switch and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.

    NO 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

  2. Determine possible failure area (transmission range switch, others)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

    Transmission range switch 10P connector

    - 3. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.

    Terminal A Transmission range switch 10P connector No. 5 (PNK)
    Terminal B Body ground

    - 4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 5. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

    Signal Threshold Current conditions
    Values Unit Values Unit
    Reverse Switch(ATPRVS) ON      

    Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

    YES 

    Replace the transmission range switch .

    NO 

    Go to step 3.

  3. Open wire check (ATPRVS line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Remove the jumper wire.

    - 3. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

    - 4. Disconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector B (51P) - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the A/T System (2014 2015), or How to Troubleshoot the Brake Booster Pressure Monitoring System (2016 2017 2018 2019 2020), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems(With Auto Idle Stop System) (2016), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems

    - 5. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Transmission range switch 10P connector: disconnected
      PCM connector B (51P): disconnected
    Test circuit ATPRVS
    Test point 1 Transmission range switch 10P connector No. 5 (PNK)
    Test point 2 PCM connector B (51P) No. 38 (PNK)

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The ATPRVS wire is OK. Replace the PCM - Refer to: PCM Removal and Installation (2014 2015), or PCM Removal and Installation (2016) .

    NO 

    Repair an open in the ATPRVS wire between the transmission range switch and the PCM.
