Automatics have a safety interlock system that prevents the car being started in gear. Starting is therefore restricted to 'park or 'neutral' being selected.

2006 trailblazer shifter. stuck in neutral

Do you mean you cant physically move the shifter, or moving it wont shift the transmission out of neutral? If you cant move it suspect a seized shift cable, if it moves but wont shift, and maybe feels loose, the connection on the transmission might have fallen off/broken

The transaxle control module (TCM) primarily controls shift points and lockup engagement.
The transaxle is controlled by an electronic shift system. The TCM processes input signals. From the information received, the TCM controls the transaxle hydraulic system.
The electronic shift system consists of the following components:
• TCM
• Shift Solenoid (SS1 and SS2)
• Pressure Control Solenoid (PSC)
• Lockup Solenoid
• Input Shaft Speed (ISS) Sensor
• Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor
• Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor
• Park/Neutral Position (PNP) Switch

Have the vehicle checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes
When the TCM detects an invalid combination of TR switch signals, then DTC P0705 sets. DTC P0705 is a type A DTC.

BACKUP Fuse
10A
PNP Switch



The transmission range (TR) switch is part of the park/neutral position and back-up lamp switch assembly and is mounted on the transmission manual shaft. The TR switch is a multi-signal switch. The transmission control module (TCM) supplies voltage to the TR switch. Each gear selector lever position grounds one or more of the signal circuits in a unique pattern. In order to determine the gear range selected by the driver, the TCM compares the voltage combination on the signal circuits to a TR switch combination table stored in memory. Refer to Transmission Range Switch Logic .

Alarm code # 1750 & 0705 in the scanner

OBD Code P1750 = Solenoid Assembly / Manufacturer Control Transmission.

I tell you it is infact your solenoid box assemble is going. What that does is to tell your transmission when to shift into gears. Im assuming your car is having a hard time shifting gears and juts need replace this part.


OBD Code P0705 = Transmission Range Sensor circuit (PRNDL - Input).

I'll check the Neutral Safety Switch. It's located on the shift shaft of the trans, and is a common problem. Also check the wiring leading to the switch, as it is exposed to road grime and has been known to corrode and melt.

Also can review this DTC P0705.

Hope helps.

Usually a P0705 means your TRS (transmission range sensor) is shot. It is what looks like an old backup light/neutral safety switch and is attached to the transmission where the shift lever goes in. .
