WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:
  • Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot with the HDS, and review General Troubleshooting Information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION  ).
  • This code is caused by an electrical circuit problem and cannot be caused by a mechanical problem in the transmission.
  1. Make sure the shift cable is adjusted properly (see SHIFT CABLE ADJUSTMENT  ).
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  3. Compare the ATPP, ATPR, ATPN, ATPD, and ATPFWD inputs with the HDS to the following table in each shift lever position.
    ATPP, ATPR, ATPN, ATPD AND ATPFWD INPUTS REFERENCE CHART

      ATPP ATPR ATPN ATPD ATPFWD
    P  ON OFF OFF OFF OFF
    R  OFF ON OFF OFF OFF
    N  OFF OFF ON OFF OFF
    D  OFF OFF OFF ON ON

    Do the transmission range switch signals match? 

    YES  -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time.

    NO  -Go to step  4.

  4. Compare the ATPP, ATPR, ATPN, ATPD, and ATPFWD inputs with the HDS to the table in step  3 in each shift lever position.

    Do all shift positions remain OFF? 

    YES  -Go to step  14.

    NO  -Go to step  5.

  5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  6. Disconnect the transmission range switch 8P connector.
  7. Connect the transmission range switch 8P connector terminal which did not indicate ON in step  4 to body ground with a jumper wire; refer to the following table.

      Transmission range switch 8P connector Wire color
    ATPP  No. 7 BLU/BLK
    ATPR  No. 4 WHT
    ATPN  No. 8 RED/BLK
    ATPD  No. 2 PNK
    ATPFWD  No. 5 BLU/YEL
  8. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  9. Check the transmission range switch signals that did not indicate ON with the HDS.
