Transaxle Range Switch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Mazda 626 and 2001 Mazda 626. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

PCM monitors a series of step-down resistors in the Transaxle Range (TR) switch. These step-down resistors act as a voltage divider. The voltage signal corresponds with position of TR switch as controlled by gearshift lever. The TR switch also contains the neutral/start and back-up light circuits. Malfunction of the TR switch may cause harsh engagements, firm shift feel, improper shifting or shift selection and no engine cranking.
