Transmission Range or Neutral Switch

Transmission Range or Neutral Switch
Explains the Range Switch testing or the neutral safety switch. This switch tells the TCM the position of the shift lever. Without it, the transmission will not shift. The range switch in one of the main inputs to the TCM, Learn how it works and how to test it.

For component location you need Alldata or Mitchell-1. They're online and for a small fee you have access to the repair manual. You may also try Chilton. But the TRS is normally attached to the transmission, at the lever attachment from the cable coming from the shifter. Hope this helps.

[@ADPTraining]

The Transmission Range switch as in the video, is a variable resistor. Check voltage reference using a VOM and also the sensor's outputs. You also need a wiring diagram and an operations data. This is all available online and for about 20 bucks you can get it all at Alldata or Mitchell. The VOM can be purchased online sometimes for as little as $5... So as you can see it's all possible. Don't change the TRS because you could be wasting your money. It may be an electrical issue. Good luck.

So what do you think would happen if someone dropped a positive cable and it hit the bolt on the range sensor while battery was still connected to ground

[@verntaschner2658]

I ran the scan and there 2 cods, PO700 and PO705 thank you vern

[@ADPTraining]

Scan for codes with OBD-2 (cheap) scanner and post here. Can't help without codes. Transmission codes are part of OBD-2 diagnostics. We suggest the Scan-1 Diagnostic System.

[@verntaschner2658]

I DON"T KNOW IF I POSTED THE CODE SO I WILL RESEND. the code on the OBD2 was PO700, thank you Vern

[@Sergio10875]

Thank You ADPTraining but i have no money at this time to buy you that. I just trying search some answers. Thanks again.

2001 GMC Yukon XL...had been shifting funny for the last few days...one day would not start...the truck was put in neutral, rocked back and forth, put back in park and it started right up....now its not reading the [P] position...will roll when the gear is in park...clicking noises heard while it rolls....take a minute to get it to Park (none moving) its been suggested that it maybe the neutral safety switch....just looking for more input

[@ADPTraining]

@ADPTraining CONTINUED: Check for power and ground. All the RS does is complete a circuit, like any switch. Check for continuity with RS connector disconnected and using an inexpensive multimeter ($9.00). A multimeter is your best tool. Good luck.

[@johnmartinez1090]

My transmission will not shift to OD when outside temperature is 75 degrees or hotter.shifts fine when outside temp is in 70 or lower.

[@MistaReason1]

Can a bad switch show the wrong gears? My GMC Envoy goes into drive when the indicator shows neutral & drive 1 shows as drive 2. R works with no issues. When in drive / N it won't take off I have to shift to D1 which shows as D2 & once in D/N it doesn't go into O/D & does not automatically shift.

[@NobodyReport]

So if I connect an arduino with this I can create on of the newer style shifters you push a button or turn a knob and the car would act the same?

[@verntaschner2658]

the obd2 had a number of PO700, if you need any more info let me know. Thank You, vern

[@akbornlady]

Do you know where the neutral safety switch is on a Kia Rio Cinco Stationwagon?

[@ricardotorrero151]

i have a problem in my taurus 2006 on the transmission it got neutral only thus no make any gear no forward no reverse nothing just neutralizing do u know what's the problem thanks

[@BoogWar01]

Jatco F1C1A has no range lights on dash, ie PRNDL do not light up at all in gauge cluster. Is there a fusible link somewhere North of the range switch and if so where is it? Right now the box has no drive or reverse but if I disconnect the solenoid harness I get both but the transmission acts as if it's stuck in high gear.

[@RohitVaghasiaya]

Hello sir, I got faulte code p0706 in skoda superb diesel - transmission range sensor - mechanical faulte error code.. What is the Solution? Also coolant reservoir not making hot gas?

[@ADPTraining]

THere's an issue with the transmission range switch (P0705). This is the same as the old neutral switch, but not it's more like a potentiometer or variable resistor. You need to learn to check this component and see where the issue is coming from. We have various transmission and sensor publications and DVDs on google-play, amazon and wherever books are sold, Keyword - Author Mandy Concepcion. Thanks...

[@jesserayner4837]

ADPTraining nice

[@ADPTraining]

The 700 code is a general purpose code that's for naught. It won't do us much good. I have too little info to go on here. I need more data to help you out.

[@verntaschner2658]

my Suzuki forenzi 2007 will make a loud noise and jumps to a different gear. so far it has went to drive or 3rd gear, I shut the car off for 2 minutes, start it up and it runs fine until it happens again, Any suggestions ?. Vern

[@jossan9827]

Hi. I have a 01M automatic transmission, it have installed F 125 multifunction neutral switch. This control PRND321 display on the board, when a put D it shaded but later it nor shaded. And gearbox becomes in Limp mode ó emergency. I think this switch it´s responsible. don´t you'? I ask you, how can i disarm this f125? I have no money Help me please

[@jossan9827]

Me again. Can you tell me how it probe? Thanks

[@BuddhaAtheist29]

can this part make my car go into neutral when sitting at red lights but only when it haets up and not every time I have located the part but hard to get to but is on outside of trans wanted to no alot of people tell me its a lost cause but when in drive it work to well for me to write it off never see a trans work great most of the time and not at all sometime that why I think it could be electronic because l work and I know electronics can work find till they heat up then they go crazy

[@ADPTraining]

Christopher, I can tell you that it's probably not the Range-Switch. The trans going Neutral when hot points to a valve body, hydraulic pump or pressure control solenoid issue. Here's the thing, if you totally DISCONNECT the trans, it'll be in 2nd gear (limp-in mode). So, do that after you start experiencing the neutral issue. If back in 2nd gear, then issue's electronic. If not, it's mechanical (sol, pump, VB, etc). Good luck.

[@BUDRdaMANinc]

ADPTraining what exactly do you mean disconnect the trans? Where do I disconnect it from?

[@johnherbert4646]

I get a question, my mechanic told me I need to replace transmission multi function switch while the code is P0706 telling a transmission range sensor malfunctioning. Are they (MF switch and transmission range sensor) the same thing? I was quoted 729 for my 2002 VW Passat. No idea if that is too high or not

[@Sergio10875]

First of all thanks for all the videos. I have a 2002 explorer with 5r55w Trans, im getting late shifting from 1st to 2nd with the P0775 code witch is the solenoid, I replaced it the entire block solenoid, I change the trans fluid and filter and I still have the shifting problems. Im thinking change the Digital Trans Range Sensor, because some times I cant start the car in parking just in Neutral, and I believe that sensor maybe is the problem of the shifting late too. The Digital Trans Range Sensor work with the solenoid or controls the oil pressure that can cause me this late shifting? Thanks a lot PD I don't think is the bands or servos, because the car was working fine before take it to a "junior" mechanic for do a trans remove to replace the front seal. I believe he remove the range sensor and get worst because the range sensor was lightly bad. Thanks

[@ADPTraining]

Thanks for asking. Your issue is not a 123 thing. Here's one of our software that will help you with this particular trans ID. www.autodiagnosticsandpublishing.com/TransTS.html

[@scottanthonymarshall]

I have an 04 Toyota Tacoma automatic 4wd. The n/s switch is good, I tested it with a meter. There are no functional problems. It runs,drives,starts, brake lights, back up lights work. I do get p0705 and the check engine light is always on. I don’t know if it’s related, but I can’t get the cruise control to work either. What would you suggest? Do I need to check the wiring harness next? How do I proceed.

[@ADPTraining]

Check Neutral Switch

[@AspenGroves25]

06 mercury mariner, P0707 code, starts and immediately begins cycling between park/neutral/drive, eventually stops and the screen stops selecting anything. At this point you can drive it, but have to help guide the shifting for each gear. Over 2,300 rpm and it starts going into neutral/1st/2nd. I've replaced neutral safety switch and replaced transmission fluid, it's made no change. What am I missing?

[@ADPTraining]

Looks like something's causing the TCM or trans computer to freak out. Look into ground issues and alternator battery problems.

[@angelf9800]

Question Can it be my neutral safety switch that’s bad if I don’t have no 2 or 3 gear only neutral and drive on my 1997 Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0

[@mikemaxwell8067]

have a1997 taurus gl wagon with no-backup light. ive replaced the bulbs chech the fuse, and replaced the neutral safety switch still nothing. what now.....

[@ADPTraining]

mike maxwell Watch carefully because sometimes the reverse switch is further up and it's a different one.

[@mikemaxwell8067]

mike maxwell ok your video showed me nothing. what im asking now is there a second switch on the trans and where? i have no money to bay your disk........

[@justfixingstuff2160]

Mike I had the same problem in my Jeep Cherokee. No back up lights. Fuses good ,bulbs good, neutral safety switch good. Turned out one of the terminals in the kick panel fuse box had a loose connection.

Where location

[@markelljohnson330]

What the problem

[@verntaschner2658]

Vern again, first you must know that your dealing with a 77 year old dummy. Where is the TRS located on a 2007 Suzuki and what are the names of the books on google- play that I would need .
