P0708
Transmission Range Sensor A Circuit High
Same as P0707 with the signal voltage above the plausible range. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.

Possible causes
- Signal shorted to supply high
- Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance low
- Supply wire pinched against B+ source low

- Slipping or shuddering during gear changes
Inspection / repair
- Difficulty: medium
- DIY: possible
- Estimated cost: 100–400 €
- Estimated time: 0.6–2 h
- Component: transmission range sensor a
- MIL / check engine light
