What does a transmission position sensor do?

What does a transmission position sensor do?

The transmission position sensor, also known as the transmission range sensor, is an electronic sensor that provides a position input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) so that the transmission can be properly controlled by the PCM according to the position commanded by the sensor.

What to do if your transmission range sensor malfunctions?

Look at the wiring harness location and make sure it’s not rubbing on the shift linkage. Check for broken or shorted wires do to lack of insulation Check the sensor for looseness. If it is loose, place the parking brake on and the transmission in neutral. Turn the key on and swivel the TRS until the back up lights come on.

How to replace a transmission position sensor ( switch )?

Step 1: Take out the new sensor. Put the new sensor onto the transmission. Step 2: Install the mounting bolts to the sensor. Tighten them down hand tight. Torque the bolts to 8 foot-pounds. Note: Do not over tighten the bolts or you will crack the new sensor. Step 3: Plug in the harness to the sensor.

What is the transmission range sensor code for a 2000 Chevy?

Related Transmission Range Sensor codes: P0705, P0706, P0707, P0708, and P0709. 2000 Chevy Metro LSI 1.3 L 4 dr posting code: P0705. 2000 Chevy Metro LSI 1.3 L 4 dr posting code: P0705. I replaced the Neutral Safety switch also know as TRS (Transmission Range Sensor) and still popping Code: P0705.

What is the shifting solenoid on a Chevy S10?

The shifting solenoid on a Chevrolet S-10 pick-up is designed to regulate when the transmission shifts. This solenoid is part of the electronic transmission control system, and is controlled by the powertrain control module, or PCM. The PCM actuates the shifting solenoid when it determines that an upshift or downshift is required.

What does transmission range sensor circuit malfunction ( PRNDL input )?

Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Malfunction (PRNDL input) What does that mean? This is a generic powertrain code, which means it covers all makes/models, 1996-newer. However, specific troubleshooting steps will vary depending on the vehicle.
