Circuit Description
The pressure switch manifold (PSM) is a multiple switch assembly made up of three normally open (N/O) pressure switches and one normally closed (N/C) pressure switch for reverse pressure. Fluid pressure is supplied to the reverse pressure switch when the manual selector valve is in any position except REVERSE. When the manual selector valve is moved to REVERSE, pressure to the reverse pressure switch is cut off, causing the switch to close.
DTC P1713 is a type A DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9.0 volts and less than 18 volts. |
| • | Engine speed is greater than 200 RPM and less than 7,500 RPM for 5 seconds. |
| • | The park/neutral position switch (PNP) is enabled and functional. |
| • | The transmission fluid temperature (TFT) is greater than 0°C (32°F). |
| • | DTC P0708 and P1714 are not active. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P1713 sets when PARK, NEUTRAL, or a forward range has been selected and the reverse pressure switch remains in the mechanically closed/electrically on position for a period of time that is calibration dependent.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The transmission control module (TCM) will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). |
| • | The transmission will lock in NEUTRAL. |
| • | DTC P1713 will be stored in TCM history. |
| • | The TCM freezes shift adapts. |
| • | The TCM inhibits torque converter clutch (TCC) engagement. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A scan tool can clear the code from TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure.
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM. Look for the following conditions: |
| - | A bent terminal |
| - | A backed-out terminal |
| - | A damaged terminal |
| - | Poor terminal tension |
| - | A chafed wire |
| - | A broken wire inside the insulation |
| • | When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. |
| • | You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a condition. |
| • | This DTC could indicate a hydraulic leak path exhausting pressure from the reverse pressure switch. |
| • | An inactive DTC P1713 set in combination with DTC P1711 often indicates an internal PNP switch failure occurred on a previous drive cycle. If this combination returns after clearing the DTCs, replacement of the PNP switch may be necessary. |
| • | The intent of this code is to detect discrepancies between the range selected at the PNP switch and the actual position of the manual selector valve. |

Important: Before clearing the DTC, use the scan tool in order to record the Freeze Frame and Failure Records for reference. The Clear Info function will erase the data. Does the scan tool indicate TFP SW. R status is OFF? | Go to Diagnostic Aids | Go to Step 5 |
Does the scan tool indicate TFP SW. R status is ON when grounded and OFF when open? | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 12 | |
Does the scan tool indicate TFP SW. R status is ON when grounded and OFF when open? | Go to Step 7 | Go to Step 11 | |
Does the scan tool indicate TFP SW. R status is ON when grounded and OFF when open? | Go to Step 8 | Go to Step 10 | |
