DTC P084F : Parking Position Signal Circuit
General Description
The transmission control module (TCM) switches the PARKOUT output to Hi/Lo according to the parking condition of the transmission. The TCM monitors the return signal of the PARKOUT output, and when the return signal and PARKOUT output do not match for a specified duration, the TCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
