Experiencing erratic shifting, transmission slipping, or unexpected behavior in your Ford, Dodge, GMC, or Chevy truck could result from a faulty transmission range sensor (TRS). Common symptoms include erratic shifting, transmission slipping, and the illumination of the Check Engine or transmission warning lights. To diagnose, use a scan tool to check for trouble codes like P0705, P0706, P0708, and P0822, inspect TRS connections for damage or corrosion, perform electrical checks, and observe transmission behavior during a test drive. Ensuring the TRS functions correctly is crucial for seamless gear transitions. Depending on comfort level and expertise, one can either follow detailed service manual instructions for DIY repair or seek professional help from mechanics like those at Truck Transmission Specialists (TTS). For expert diagnostics, repairs, and rebuilds, visit Truck Transmission Specialists' website or call to schedule an appointment.
