Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the transmission range sensor?
- It tells the ECM which gear the shifter is in (P, R, N, D, etc.) for proper shift logic and starter engagement.
- Can a bad range sensor prevent starting?
- Yes — the car may not recognize it is in Park or Neutral, preventing the starter from engaging.
