31 - PRNDL? wtf?
Thursday, September 14, 2006 4:57 AM
just scanned my 95 2.2 yesterday on a GM Tech 2 and I'm getting a 0031 - PRNDL

now wtf is that supposed to be!? "Park, Reverse, Netural, Drive, Low" is what I read it stands for, but that means nothing to me either. help would be a wonderful thing right now

Might mean the PRNDL switch is bad.



I used to race cars, now I race myself.

try google sometime

Quote:

Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch circuit - PRNDL indicates a gear other than park or neutral for 13 seconds for 3 consecutive startups when ignition was on, engine was off and vehicle speed was 0. Or the PRNDL status indicators (A, B, C, P) showed an incorrect combination of Lo and Hi for more than 10 seconds.

you would think people would have common sense to google things but ive given up on thinking that. people would rather be dicks and have everything handed to them instead of looking it up.

I found that to as a matter of fact but it still makes no sence what-so-ever because my cause is a 5-speed not automatic.

But anyways I think it was an faulse alarm now becuase of a bad engine ground I found because I never got a light yet since I fixed that so hopefully I wont need to worry about it. But thanks for the help

If it's a 5sp then the switch that your clutch activates is the PRNDL switch. (Might be stuck in the position that shows the clutch is depressed?) Or be "bouncing" making/breaking contacts. Ground wire problem is a definate possibility.
