The park/neutral position switch has a "Transmission Range" switch built into it. This switch detects the shift lever position when it's in the N or P position and sends a signal to the Transmission Control Module.
If you are getting an OBD II Code P0708, there are a few possibilities. The Park/Neutral switch could be shorted or open, there could be a poor connection somewhere in the circuit (wiring) from the switch, or the switch could simply be misadjusted. I'd check the switch connection first. Use a multimeter to check the switch operation, inspect the wiring harness coming from it, and check to see if it's adjusted properly. The most likely possibility? A bad switch. It's mounted on top of the transmission, and had an electrical connector and a cable connected to it. You can usually get one for $40-$50.
it is located where the transmission is and is very easy to change. on a 2000 ford contour that is.
P0706 = Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Range/Performance P0705 = Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Malfunction (PRNDL input)
4cyl: Remove airbox assy. It's on top of the transmission, to the left of the battery. Kind of square in shape with a corner cut off. Held in by 2 bolts
Had same problem with 1998 ford contour gl. Replaced transmission range sensor and problem stopped.
Transmission range sensor circuit malfunction (PRNDL input)
it is happened to to my car and I replaced the transmission range sensor. it is located on the top of the transmission at the left side of the battery. good luck
The range/performance sensor gives code p0501. it is located on the passenger side axle, it connects to the rotors. Also known as he vehicle speed sensor 'A' range/performance sensor. the other 2 speed sensors are the output and input sensor they sit on top of the transmission under the air filter box.
Trouble code P0705 means: Transmission range sensor circuit malfunction (PRNDL input)

Inside the transmission, on the valve body. It is called a TRS (transmission range sensor).Inside the transmission, on the valve body. It is called a TRS (transmission range sensor).
