DTC P1706 specifically means 'Automatic Transmission Gear Position Switch Open'. This suggests a fault in the gear position sensor circuit, which can affect shifting behavior and safety.

The issue might be as simple as a pinched or broken wiring harness connected to the gear position switch. A visual inspection of the wiring could resolve it without expensive repairs.
