DTC P0705 Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Malfunction (PRNDL Input)
DESCRIPTION

When the shift lever is in the N or P position: 1) the Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch turns ON, and 2) ECM terminal NSW is grounded to the body ground via the starter relay and voltage becomes 0 V. When the shift lever is in the D, 2, L or R position: 1) the PNP switch turns OFF, and 2) ECM terminal NSW receives current and becomes the voltage of the ECM internal power source. If the shift lever is moved from the N position to the D position, this signal is used for air-fuel ratio correction and for idle speed control (estimated control).
HINT: After confirming DTC P0705, use the intelligent tester to confirm the PNP switch signal in the ALL menu (to reach the ALL menu: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / ALL).
WIRING DIAGRAM
For 2WD model:

For 4WD model:

HINT: Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester or OBD II scan tool. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was LEAN or RICH, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- β’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- β’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- β’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- β’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- β’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
