P0706 Open in Transmission Range Switch Circuit

What that means, /I/ don't know, but whomever does I am sure will chime in.
I gi\oogled for that code and found many lists that give that same 1-line
description, but no further explanation.

Re: Malfunction indicator lamp
 

The transmission range switch is on the side of the transmission and feeds a
signal back to the computer as to which gear it is switched to. As you move
the column control it moves the switch. It is possible some foreign material
got under the switch and cleared when you moved the shifter. The switch also
feeds the light showing the gear it is in. Observe those if it fails again.
The parts tech's system may not have printed out anything because the mil
wasn't on. However the code and all relevant information is stored in the
freeze frame in the computer and can be accessed.
