Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control
module (PCM) provides 12 volts to the park/neutral
position (PNP) switch. The switch consists of 5 separate
circuits, 4 of which indicate gear selector position to
the transmission control module (TCM), and one that
indicates park/neutral position to the ECM/PCM. When
the transmission is in Park or Neutral, the switch closes
and pulls the ECM/PCM voltage low, 0 volts. When the
transmission is not in Park or Neutral, the ECM/PCM
voltage is high, 12 volts. The ECM/PCM uses the switch
in order to enable starter operation.
