DTC P1780 Park/Neutral Position Switch Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The park/neutral position switch detects the shift lever position and sends signals to the ECM.
The ECM receives signals (NSW, R, 2 and L) from the park/neutral position switch. When the signal is not
sent to the ECM from the park/neutral position switch, the ECM judges that the shift lever is in D position.
DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
2 or more switches are ON simultaneously for R, N, 2 and L
positions (2 - trip detection logic).
When driving under conditions 1. and 2. for 30 seconds or S Short in park/neutral position switch circuit

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Read PNP, REVERSE, 2ND and LOW signals.
When using hand-held tester:
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove the DLC3 cover.
(b) Connect a hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON and hand-held tester main
switch ON.
CHECK:
Shift lever into the P, R, D, N, 2 and L positions, and read the
PNP, REVERSE, 4TH/DRIVE 2ND and LOW signals on the
TOYOTA hand-held tester.
OK:
Shift position Signal
2 2ND OFF ON
L LOW OFF ON
D 4TH / DRIVE OFF ON
R REVERSE OFF ON
P, N PNP OFF ON
