Thread: P0705 code...Why?

I happened to check my codes today... and notice that the normal rear o2 is still there but then popped up this one:

• P0705 Transmission Range Sensor Circuit malfunction (PRNDL Input)
  

My question is. Why is this coming on with a 5 speed transmission? I thought this was just a sensor so the ecu knows when the auto transmission is in park or neutral. I did go ahead and erased the code for now waiting to see if it comes back.

So what do I do...replace the sensor?

I did that J. But didn't see an answer. Any idea?

i had the code in my other car but wasnt worried about it.

another guy in this post said he replaced the knock sensor and the code went away(last post)

Came up on mine a few times, I believe someone told me to replace the neutral switch

Yes, neutral switch, or neutral switch wiring.

Hold your horses!

It is a Range Sensor Circuit malfunction!

Not sure what the transmission possibly could 'do to have to do with it' (wuddid)

Weird thing us...it came on...then went off. After it went off no code has been read for 2 days boe over 30 miles.

Odd?

Electrical gremlin? Neutral switch could be loose?
