There are two switches:
- the pressure switch manifold on the valve body as Jay said;
- the P/N switch on the selector linkage;
(the P/N switch is regardless of the reverse lamp switch);
the PCM reads both of those, and it uses the P/N switch to select the idle air tables... when selector lever is put in gear (D or R) the load on the engine increases which requires the in-gear idle air tables to become active;
in post #15 you indicated that the P/N switch is not indicating on the scantool... so this appears to be the problem.
