Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Pontiac Firebird, 2000 Chevrolet Corvette, and 2000 Chevrolet Camaro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Park Neutral Position (PNP) and back-up switch incorporates a transaxle range selector switch. There are 4 inputs (PRND "A", "B", "C" & "P") which can be switched to ground by the PNP switches. The 4 switches have a unique switch pattern. PCM uses the combination of the switch patterns in order to determine the gear selected by the driver.
Conditions for setting DTC are: system voltage is greater than 8 volts, transaxle range (select lever) switch indicates an illegal position or PCM detects an illegal range for 10 seconds.
