DTC P0705-13: Transmission Range Sensor "A" Circuit Open; DTC P0705-62: Transmission Range Sensor "A" Signal Compare Failure [08/2020 - ]: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Lexus ES 250, 2023 Lexus ES 250, 2022 Lexus ES 250, and 2021 Lexus ES 250. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The park/neutral position switch assembly detects the shift lever position and sends signals to the ECM.

DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area	MIL	Memory	Note
P0705-13	Transmission Range Sensor "A" Circuit Open	When the engine switch is on (IG) and battery voltage is 8 V or more, NSW, P, R, N and D input signals are all OFF simultaneously for 60 seconds or more (2-trip detection logic).
