P0705 on Chrysler
Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Malfunction (PRNDL Input)
P0705 on Chrysler vehicles indicates transmission range sensor circuit malfunction (prndl input). Au7o has documented this code across 1 Chrysler model — most commonly on 200. The transmission range sensor (also called the neutral safety switch or PRNDL switch) tells the computer which gear position the shifter is in (Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive). P0705 sets when the signal from this sensor is missing, out of range, or inconsistent. Symptoms include no-start in Park, the wrong gear indicator on the dash, harsh or incorrect shifts, and sometimes the engine starting in any gear position.
Common Causes of P0705
- •Faulty transmission range / neutral safety switch
- •Misadjusted shift linkage or range sensor
- •Damaged or corroded wiring and connectors
- •Poor ground connection
- •Failed PCM or TCM

Chrysler 200(1 issue)
- ZF 9-Speed (9HP48) Transmission Unexpectedly Shifts to Neutral2015
Early second-generation 200 sedans with the ZF-sourced 9-speed automatic (948TE/9HP48) can unexpectedly drop into neutral while driving, causing a sudden loss of propulsion. The root cause is insufficient crimps on the terminals of the 26-way connector in the transmission range-sensor wire harness, which corrupts the transmission's gear-position signal. This triggered NHTSA recall 16V-529 covering the 2015 Chrysler 200 alongside related Jeep Cherokee, Renegade, RAM ProMaster City, and Fiat 500X models sharing the transmission.
