What does the error code p0706 mean?
What does the error code p0706 mean?
Error Code P0706 is defined as Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Range/Performance. This means the transmission range circuit is not communicating data properly to the PCM (powertrain control module, also known as ECM or engine control module in other vehicle makes).
Why does the p0706 transmission range sensor set?
If the return voltage is not what it is supposed to be this code will set. Because the neutral safety switch is part of the transmission range sensor the vehicle may start in any gear position and/or the PCM will force the transmission in to “limp” mode. In this mode there is an obvious lack of power, especially from a complete stop.
What does p0706 stand for in torque pro?
We recommend Torque Pro. P0706 means that the Transmission Control Module (TCM) [or Powertrain Control Module (PCM), a combined engine and transmission controller used in many vehicles] sensed a “bad” signal from the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS).
What does trouble code OBD-II mean on a car?
This means the transmission range circuit is not communicating data properly to the PCM (powertrain control module, also known as ECM or engine control module in other vehicle makes). This code is a generic trouble code, meaning it applies to all vehicles equipped with OBD-II system, especially those made since 1996 up to present.
How to know if your car has a p0706 code?
Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector’s pins. The cost to diagnose the P0706 code is 1.0 hour of labor. The auto repair’s diagnosis time and labor rates vary by location, vehicle’s make and model, and even your engine type.
