I bought the car as a manual. I don't think the car was converted to manual because the previouse onwer didn't mention anything about it being an auto. Is the switch important? CAn I just reset my light? O yeah the check engine has two codes, both was the P1706 Park/Neutral Position Switch.

It doesn't have an effect on the way your car runs but your light will stay on and even if you reset it, it will go back on the next time you start your car.
