So looking at the pictures of mine and MJs F125s, remembering the track order by pin is 1,2,5,3,4 and trying to guesstimate the movements of the contact arm, I reckon:

Track A, pin 1 as noted before is a common supply voltage, presumably +12v.
Track B, pin 2 is indeed PND (with gaps for R and 4/S etc.).
Track C, pin 5 is indeed D, 4/S or 3 with a single contact segment for that.
Track D, pin 3 is indeed R, N or 4/S with gaps for P, D, 3 and 2.
Track E, pin 4 is indeed N, D, 4/S or 2 with gaps for P, R and 3.

There's clearly not a precise correlation between the track sections for the different gears, so I wonder if that's a way of signalling to the TCU that the shifter is moving from one position to another, whatever it does with that information?
