DTC Advanced Diagnostics: P1707, P1708 (1.5L Engine) (2023 2024)
DTC P1707: Neutral Position Sensor B Circuit Low Voltage DTC P1708: Neutral Position Sensor B Circuit High Voltage
General Description
Table A: Neutral position sensor output voltage
| NSS1 voltage | NSS2 voltage | |
|---|---|---|
| Neutral | 2.7 - 3.0 V | 1.35 - 1.5 V |
Neutral position sensor A and neutral position sensor B are semiconductor type that output different voltage characteristics. Each neutral position sensor outputs a voltage which depends on the condition is shown in Table A. The powertrain control module (PCM) judges whether it is in neutral or not from the neutral position sensor output voltage, and uses the information for various controls and auto idle stop system control (if equipped). Neutral position sensor A is for judging the neutral, and neutral position sensor B compares their output voltage to each other for malfunction detection. When the neutral position sensor B output voltage is a specified voltage for a set time, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Possible Cause
The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.
DTC: P1707
- Neutral position sensor B VCC1 line open
- Neutral position sensor B NSS2 line short to ground
DTC: P1708
- Neutral position sensor B SG1 line open
- Neutral position sensor B NSS2 line short to power
Common
- Neutral position sensor B failure
- PCM internal circuit failure
Diagnosis Details
Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected, a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, the freeze data, and the on-board snapshot are stored in the PCM memory. The MIL does not come on.
Conditions for clearing the DTC
The Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, the freeze data, and the on-board snapshot can be cleared with the scan tool clear command.
