7.42 DTC P0850
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports DTC P0850 – Park / Neutral Signal Circuit Incorrect Signal.
Circuit Description
The Park / Neutral (P / N) switch is a part of the automatic transmission gear selector position switch assembly.
The P / N switch is a normally open switch that closes when the transmission is shifted to Park or Neutral position. The
ECM applies a reference 12 V to the signal circuit of the P / N switch when it is open. W hen the transmission is shifted
to the Park or Neutral position, the P / N switch closes and pulls the P/ N switch signal circuit to ground.
DTC P0850 sets when the ECM detects a fault condition in the P / N switch circuit.
Conditions for Running the DTC
DTC P0850 runs continuously when the ignition voltage is 10.0 – 16.0 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P0850 sets when the ECM detects one of the following fault conditions:
• The P / N switch signal circuit is pulled to ground for 100 seconds while the TCM sends a signal that the
transmission is in gear.
• The P / N switch signal circuit is 12 V for 100 seconds while the TCM sends a signal the transmission is in park or
neutral.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P0850 is a Type ‘C’ DTC. Refer to 1.4 Diagnostic Trouble Codes in this Section, for action taken when Type ‘C’
DTCs set and conditions for clearing Type ‘C’ DTCs.
Additional Information
• The ECM uses the transmission range data to enable engine cranking when DTC P0850 sets.
• For an intermittent fault condition, refer to 5.2 Intermittent Fault Conditions in this Section.
• Refer to 6C1-1 Engine Management – V6 – General Information for details of the park / neutral switch operation.
