Theory of Operation
The Park Neutral switch rationality test is enabled only for vehicles equipped with a 4/5 speed automatic transmis-
sion. This diagnostic checks if the park/neutral switch is incorrectly stuck in the neutral position during driving con-
ditions by comparing Vehicle Speed, Engine Speed, Throttle Position, andPressure Ratio to the fail thresholds and
by looking at the state of the Park/Neutral Switch. The stuck in drive condition is not explicitly checked as the starter
relay does not energize and therefore render the vehicle inoperable.
When Monitored:
Continuously with the transmission in Park, Neutral, or Drive and NOT in Limp-in mode.
Set Condition:
This code will set if the PCM detects an incorrect Park/Neutral switch state for a given mode of vehicle oper-
ation. One trip fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.
Possible Causes

Diagnostic Test
1.P/N AND D/R NOT IN CORRECT POSITION
NOTE: Check the TCM for DTCs, if P0706 is set in the TCM diagnose the TCM code before continuing.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool, read the Park/Neutral Position Switch input state.
While moving the gear selector through all gear positions (Park to 1 and back to Park), monitor the scan tool dis-
play.
Did the scan tool display show P/N and D/R in the correct gear positions?

Take these same voltage measurements with a voltmeter by back probing the (V37) S/C Switch No.1 Signal circuit
and the (V38) S/C Switch No.2 Signal circuit at the switches.
Compare the voltage readings on the voltmeter to what the scan tool displayed.
Are the voltage readings out of the listed specification and do you less than a 0.2 of a volt difference
between the voltmeter switch values and the scan tool switch value?
