hi there
i just went to get my winter tires put on and i got the guys at the shop to put the computer on the van
ive got the p0705 code and the p1702 code
when i checked my computer it says that they are set by the digital transmission range sensor. i know where it is but i dont know the ins and outs of changing it out
do i need any specail tools?? how much does this part cost??? is it a dealer part???

Danny,
I can't believe that it is two weeks later and that you have not searched Rockauto.com, or autozone.com for the part. What are you waiting for?

By doing that little search you will find out how much it will cost, and if it is after market available.

If it is not listed in either of those two places, call your local NAPA parts store, and ask.

When you find out, please fill in this thread with the info so that others can benefit from your efforts.
Thanks

Is it doing anything wrong?
BTW: there is no listing for those codes for your car.
There are listed the link in my signature
Here's more info:

you know i use this forum to find out things about my van that i dont know or dont have time to find out on my own......i kind of thought that wat the purpose of this whole deal. i dont need to be told off for making a comment. for shame!!! bad danny!!!!! how dare you ask the same question twice in 2 weeks.

any way the part was 100+ bucks from the dealer and my wife is taking the van to the sahop on tuesday to have it swaped out

id do it myself but im on an offshore oilrig in the north atlantic and its hard to get nappa on the maritime radio

I'm glad that you are having it taken care of right away, with you away from home so much, it could be quite distressing to the little lady to have a "no Start" scenario due to a faulty transmission range sensor.

Since you seem to have internet access while on the rig, you might look into using voice over IP technology so that you can "phone home" over the internet.

Dannymurphy,
I know there are places that have very limited access to the internet. Some even make you pay the exorbitant prices charged by INMARSAT, or whoever provides the satellite phone service for the 64kb or if you are lucky the 128kb internet speed. I have been in your situation prior to internet, in a strange country paying $12 a min for phone and the little lady has a bum car with no relatives within 1500 miles to turn to. Anyway, the people on this site would be more then willing to go the extra mile to answer your questions we just expect you to do some of the leg work yourself. If you are unable to do this let us know your situation and you would get more help then you could use.
