Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Range/Performance. P0706 means the transmission range sensor, which tells the computer which gear the shift lever is in, is sending a signal outside the expected range or behaving erratically. The computer compares the sensor's reported position against other inputs and flags the code when the signal does not match a valid range or changes in a way that does not make sense.
