Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saturn Vue and 2002 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The PNP switch is mounted on the transaxle assembly and is a multi-signal switch that indicates gearshift lever position to the TCM. The PNP switch assembly prevents the engine from cranking while in Drive or Reverse. The PNP switch uses four discrete circuits to pull four TCM inputs high in various combinations to indicate each gear range. DTC P1756 will set when the PNP switch indicates Park or Neutral and the TCM detects that the vehicle is moving.
