The Nissan throttle position sensor collects data on how hard you’re pushing the gas pedal, then relays this information to the ECU so it can tell the TCM which shift program to use, and what gear the transmission should be in. A P1705 OBDII trouble code means that there is either a short in the circuit, or the throttle position sensor itself has failed.
