P0706 on Chrysler
Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
P0706 on Chrysler vehicles indicates transmission range sensor circuit range/performance. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Chrysler model — most commonly on 200. Set when the transmission range (PRNDL) sensor signal is present but outside the expected range or does not correlate with other inputs (such as actual gear engaged). The position reading is implausible relative to vehicle operation.
Common Causes of P0706
- •Misadjusted or worn transmission range sensor
- •Failing range sensor
- •Wiring resistance or intermittent connection
- •Shift linkage adjustment fault
- •Internal transmission selector wear
P0706 on Chrysler by Model
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.
