Transmission Range Sensor A Circuit Low

What does this code mean?

Severity : High

P0707 indicates low input on circuit A of the automatic transmission range sensor, also called the multifunction switch. This sensor tells the control module the gear selector position, P, R, N or D. With a signal that is too low, the position can no longer be recognised reliably.

Symptoms

  • Check engine or transmission light on.
  • No start in some selector positions.
  • Missing or wrong gear indication on the dashboard.
  • Reversing lights not working.
  • Transmission in limp mode.

Possible causes

  • Faulty transmission range sensor.
  • Sensor out of adjustment.
  • Wiring shorted to ground.
  • Connector corroded or contaminated by oil or water.
  • Transmission control module fault, which is rare.

Diagnosis and repair

  • Inspect the sensor connector and wiring.
  • Check the position reported in live data for each selector position.
  • Check sensor and shift cable adjustment.
  • Measure the signals with a multimeter using the manufacturer diagram.
  • Adjust or replace the sensor, clear the code and road test.
