Diagnostic Fault Information
Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
The transmission manual shift shaft switch assembly, also known as the Internal Mode Switch (IMS), is a sliding contact switch attached to the
manual shift shaft inside the transmission case. The Park/Neutral Position (PNP) Switch is integrated into the IMS and connects to the Transmission
Control Module (TCM) lead-frame through a short wire harness. The circuit uses the TCM as a pass-through connector only. The Park/Neutral
Signal is sent from the park/neutral switch directly to the engine control module (ECM) and is used for engine start enable.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* Ignition voltage is between 8-18 volts.
* Engine speed is greater than 1000 RPM.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0850 and P0851
* The ECM detects the Park/Neutral switch signal equals 0 volts (Park/Neutral) when the IMS reports a Drive range for 0.2 second.
* TP is equal to or greater than 10 percent.
* Engine torque is equal to or greater than 75 Nm (55 lb ft).
* Vehicle speed is equal or greater than 10 km/h (6 mph).
P0852
The ECM detects the Park/Neutral switch signal equals 12 volts (In-Gear) when the IMS reports a Park/Neutral range for 0.2 second.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTCs P0850, P0851, and P0852 are Type C DTCs.
* The ECM uses IMS Range for engine start-up.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P0850, P0851, and P0852 are Type C DTCs.
