P0706: Transmission range sensor circuit range / performance
The selected gear or park/neutral signal is implausible for the transmission's actual state.
Common symptoms
- •Incorrect gear display
- •No start
- •Harsh engagement
- •Transmission limp mode
Likely causes
- •Misadjusted or failed range sensor
- •Selector linkage issue
- •Connector corrosion
- •Internal mechatronic fault
First checks
- •Compare displayed and selected gear
- •Check selector adjustment
- •Inspect live range states, connector, and wiring
Important
A false park or neutral signal can create a roll-away or no-start risk; confirm selector operation before driving.
A fault code identifies a detected condition, not a failed part. Confirm manufacturer-specific subcodes and live data.
