Description:

  • The fault code indicates an issue with the gear shift position circuit. The gear shift position sensor is responsible for detecting the position of the gear selector and transmitting this information to the transmission control module (TCM). A fault in this circuit can lead to incorrect gear position readings or failure to engage the correct gear.

Possible Symptoms:

  • Incorrect gear position displayed on the instrument cluster

  • Difficulty shifting gears or failure to engage the correct gear

  • Illumination of the Check Engine Light

  • Transmission shifting issues

  • Impaired vehicle performance or drivability

Possible Causes:

  • Faulty gear shift position sensor

  • Damaged or corroded wiring in the gear shift position circuit

  • Loose or poor electrical connection in the gear shift position circuit

  • Faulty transmission control module (TCM)

  • Intermittent electrical issue in the vehicle's electrical system

Related Parts:

  • Gear Shift Position Sensor: Gear Shift Position Sensor communicates the position of the gear to the car computer. This car's sensor has a problem which may cause difficulty in shifting gears

Possible Solutions:

  • Inspect and replace the faulty gear shift position sensor, if necessary

  • Check for any damage or corrosion in the wiring and repair as needed

  • Ensure all electrical connections in the gear shift position circuit are secure and free from debris

  • Test and, if necessary, replace the transmission control module (TCM)

  • If the issue is intermittent, perform a thorough inspection of the vehicle's electrical system to identify and resolve any underlying electrical problems
