Transmission Range Sensor

The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) interprets the position of the manual valve. This information is sent to the transmission control module. Also the TRS provides for Park/Neutral only starter operation and back-up lamp operation.
The TRS connector extends outside the transaxle on the left side, next to the fill tube. The TRS is mounted to the top of the valve body. The TRS and valve body must be removed from the transaxle as an assembly.
