What does this fault code mean?
The auxiliary sensor in the gear position sensor has registered a value that is too low. The gear position sensor, which sits in the transmission control module, receives the selector position through a cable. The fault may be that the position needs adjusting or an internal fault in the control module, and it shows as harsh gear changes.
Possible causes
- The gear position sensor position (offset) needs adjusting
- Internal fault inside the TCM
What you can do
- 1If you have a diagnostic tool: move the selector through every position and check whether live data shows an undefined reading when it sits in P, R, N or D
- 2Have a workshop adjust the selector cable and calibrate the gear position sensor
- 3Read and clear the fault code after calibration
- 4If the code remains after calibration, have a workshop replace the transmission control module
