Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saturn LW300, 2003 Saturn LW200, 2003 Saturn L300, and 2003 Saturn L200. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 5:  By disconnecting the TR switch, the ground path for all TR switch circuits would be removed and the PCM should recognize all circuits as open. The scan tool should display HI for all range signals.
  2. 6:  This step tests the TR switch wiring for an open or lack of signal voltage from the PCM.
  3. 7:  This step tests the TR switch wiring and the PCM by providing a ground path through a fused jumper wire. When grounded, the scan tool range signal A should change to LOW.
  4. 8:  This step tests the TR switch wiring and the PCM by providing a ground path through a fused jumper wire. When grounded, the scan tool range signal B should change to LOW.
  5. 9:  This step tests the TR switch wiring and the PCM by providing a ground path through a fused jumper wire. When grounded, the scan tool range signal C should change to LOW.
DTC P0705 (2.2L (L61))

Step Action Values Yes No
1 Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls? - Go to Step 2  Go to DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE CONTROLS in Self-Diagnostics - 3.0L or DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK -- ENGINE CONTROLS in Self-Diagnostics - 2.2L
2
  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. Select Transmission Range on the scan tool.
  4. With the scan tool, observe the Transmission Range display while selecting each transmission range: P, R, N, D4, D3, D2 and D1.
Does each selected transmission range match the scan tool Transmission Range display?		 - Go to INTERMITTENTS for 2.2L or INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS for 3.0L Go to Step 3 
3
  1. Disconnect the electronic PRNDL module.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. Select Transmission Range on the scan tool.
  4. With the scan tool, observe the Transmission Range display while selecting each transmission range: P, R, N, D4, D3, D2 and D1.
Does each selected transmission range match the scan tool Transmission Range display?		 - Go to Step 15  Go to Step 4 
4
  1. Inspect the PNP switch assembly for the following:
  2. Inspect the shift cable for the following:
Did you find and correct a condition?		 - Go to Step 18  Go to Step 5 
5  With the scan tool, observe the TR Switch - P/A/B/C display.
Does the scan tool TR Switch - P/A/B/C parameter indicate HI for all range signal states?		 - Go to Step 14  Go to Step 6 
6 
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the TR switch 4-way connector.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
Does the scan tool TR Switch - P/A/B/C parameter indicate HI for all range signal states?		 - Go to Step 7  Go to Step 11 
7 
  1. Using the DMM and the J-35616  connector test adapter kit, measure the voltage from terminal A of the TR switch 4-way connector to ground.
  2. Measure the voltage from terminal B of the TR switch 4-way connector to ground.
  3. Measure the voltage from terminal C of the TR switch 4-way connector to ground.
  4. Measure the voltage from terminal D of the TR switch 4-way connector to ground.
Does the voltage measure within the specified value at all four terminals?		 10-12 V Go to Step 8  Go to Step 12 
8  Connect a fused jumper wire from terminal D of the TR switch 4-way connector, signal A circuit, to ground while monitoring the scan tool TR Switch - P/A/B/C parameter.
When the signal A circuit is grounded, do any other signal circuits indicate LOW?		 - Go to Step 13  Go to Step 9 
9  Connect a fused jumper wire from terminal B of the TR switch 4-way connector, signal B circuit, to ground while monitoring the scan tool TR Switch - P/A/B/C parameter.
When the signal B circuit is grounded, do any other signal circuits indicate LOW?		 - Go to Step 13  Go to Step 10 
10 Connect a fused jumper wire from terminal C of the TR switch 4-way connector, signal C circuit, to ground while monitoring the scan tool TR Switch- P/A/B/C parameter.
When the signal C circuit is grounded, do any other signal circuits indicate LOW?		 - Go to Step 13  Go to Step 16 
11 Test the signal circuits of the TR switch that did not indicate HI for a short to ground.
Refer to Testing for Short to Ground and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 18  Go to Step 17 
12 Test the signal circuits of the TR switch that did not indicate proper voltage for an open.
Refer to Testing for Continuity and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 18  Go to Step 17 
13 Test the affected signal circuits of the TR switch for a shorted together condition.
Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 18  Go to Step 17 
14 Test the ground circuit of the TR switch for an open.
Refer to Testing for Continuity and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 18  Go to Step 16 
15 Replace the electronic PRNDL module. Refer to Shift Indicator Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 18  -
16 Replace the TR switch. The TR switch is part of the park/neutral position switch.
Refer to Park/Neutral Position (PNP) Switch Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 18  -
17 Replace the PCM.
Refer to POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE in Removal & Installation.
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 18  -
18 Perform the following procedure in order to verify the repair:
  1. Select DTC.
  2. Select Clear Info.
