OBDC Error Code P0705 for 150 V6 Prado?

Hi All

My 150VX V6 has recently being reporting this error code. Google tells me it might be a Transmission sensor, I was hoping someone else may have had the problem and has a solution.

First presented a couple of weeks ago, dash lit up and ScanGauge2 shows the above error. I clear it and it reappears seconds later.
Following day error disappeared until today. Car drives as normal.

Before I send it off to a mechanic can anyone give me some insight into what it may be.

Thanks

Trev

This might help?

The P0705 diagnostic trouble code (DTC) refers to a switch either external or internal on the transmission whose function is to signal the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or the Transmission Control Module (TCM) as to the gear shift position -- P, R,N and D positions (park, reverse, neutral, and drive). The backup lights may also function through the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) if it is an external component. The code is telling you that the computer has recognized a failure in the TRS sensor. The sensor is either sending an erroneous or no signal at all to the computer identifying the gear position. The computer receives signals from the vehicle speed sensor as well as the TRS. When the vehicle is moving and there are contradictory signals being received by the computer, such as the TRS signal indicates that the vehicle is in park, however the speed sensor indicates that it is moving, the code P0705 is set.
