What is a po 705 code on a 1997 honda civic?

First you'll need to read the description for the code:

Quite a few times just last month, I had 4 Honda came in for the same code and 3 out of 4 has shifting cable problem. You can try to check and adjust the shifting cable first:

1) Set the parking brake.
2 Remove the air filter box assembly so you can access the transmission range switch.
3) Turn the key to the ON position, but do not start the vehicle. Move the shifter to the neutral position.
4) Align the alignment holes between the switch and the shift lever. Insert a 5mm drill bit into the adjustment hole to verify the proper alignment for the neutral position.
5) If the bit won't fit, the switch is out of alignment. Loosen the bolts and move the switch until you can insert the drill bit. Tighten the bolts to 96 INCH/lbs.

Clear the code and test drive. If the code return, test/ replace the Range switch. This video will show you how to replace:
