Do the transmission range switch signals match?

     
YES
     
     
     
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections and loose terminals between the transmission range switch and the TCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.?
     
NO
     
     
     
The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

Shorted wire check (corresponding line)
?1.
Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

?2.
Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.
NOTE: This step must be done to protect the TCM from damage.


?3.
Disconnect the following connector.
TCM 50P connector
