Any time an electrical connector or solenoid body is disconnected, inspect the connector for terminal condition, corrosion and contamination. Also inspect the connector seal for damage. Clean, repair or install new components as required.

DIGITAL TRANSMISSION RANGE (TR) SENSOR DIAGNOSIS CHART

Selector Position PID: TR PID: TR_D PID: TR V (volts)
TR4 TR3A TR2 TR1 TR3A (PCM Pin 64 to signal return)

(1) Will read "Drive" if O/D is canceled
  1. TR_V is the voltage at the PCM Pin 64 (TR3A Circuit) to signal return.
  2. "In Between" reading could be caused by a shift cable or digital TR sensor misaligned or a digital TR sensor circuit failure of TR1, TR2, TR3A or TR4.
  3. TR_D: 1= Open digital TR switch, 0= Closed digital TR switch.
  4. EEC-V Control System Breakout Box Readings: Taken from PCM signal pins for TR1, TR2, TR3A and TR4 to signal return.
    • Voltages for TR1, TR2 and TR4: 
    • 0 = 0.0 volts
    • 1 = 9.0 - 14.0 volts
    • Voltage for TR3A: 
    • 0 = 0.0 volts
    • 1 = 1.3 - 1.8 volts
    • 1.8 - 5.0 volts = Invalid Reading (open in wires or bad resistor in digital TR sensor).
