Official summary
For concerns of loss of radio sound, power windows & lock functions & increased p/s effort when trans is shifted into reverse or drive, perform proper diagnostics for these concerns. If no solution is found the cause of these concerns may be the trans range (tr) sensor. Disconnect harness from the tr sensor & recheck for concerns. If sensor is shorted internally voltage may be supplied to ckt 32 (r/lb) causing the gen & rcu to shut down controlled functions.
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
