What P0930 means
- The fault code indicates a low voltage condition in the control circuit of the gear shift lock solenoid or actuator. This circuit is responsible for locking or unlocking the gear shift mechanism. A low voltage condition can prevent proper operation of the solenoid or actuator, leading to issues with shifting gears, such as being unable to shift out of Park or into a desired gear.
Possible symptoms
- Inability to shift out of Park or into a desired gear
- Gear shift lever feels stuck or locked
- Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) or Check Engine Light illuminated
- Faulty or intermittent operation of the gear shift mechanism
- Possible immobilization of the vehicle due to inability to engage a gear
Possible causes
- Faulty gear shift lock solenoid or actuator
- Wiring or connector issues in the control circuit, such as damaged wires or loose connections
- Poor electrical connection at the solenoid or actuator
- Faulty gear shift control module or transmission control module
- Electrical problem, such as a blown fuse or relay
Related parts
- Gear Shift Lock: Gear shift lock is a safety feature in Automatic transmission cars that prevents shifting into gear without using the brake. Problems with this lock lead to gears not unlocking
Possible solutions
- Inspect the gear shift lock solenoid or actuator for any signs of damage or malfunction, and replace if necessary
- Check the wiring and connectors in the control circuit for any damage, corrosion, or loose connections, and repair as needed
- Ensure a proper electrical connection at the solenoid or actuator
- Test the gear shift control module or transmission control module for proper operation, and replace if required
- Check the electrical system for any blown fuses or faulty relays, and repair or replace as needed
