What does this fault code mean?
The code concerns the sensor that detects the shift lock position in the gear selector control module (GSM). It is set when the sensor is not activated after the selector is moved from P to R, or when it stays active for too long in D. The shift lock is controlled by a solenoid, and the link arm between the solenoid and the control module affects the sensor position.
Possible causes
- Internal fault in the gear selector control module (GSM)
What you can do
- 1If you have a diagnostic tool: read the P position sensor status in live data while you move the selector from P to R and back, and check that the status changes.
- 2Press the brake pedal when you move the selector out of P, as the shift lock is then controlled by the solenoid.
- 3If the status does not change, have a workshop check that the link arm between the shift lock solenoid and the gear selector control module is correctly fitted.
- 4Keep the selector in each position for a few seconds when you test.
- 5If the link arm is correctly fitted but the sensor still does not work, a workshop needs to replace the gear selector control module (GSM).
Symptoms you may notice5
- The gear indicator in the gauges does not work
- Manual gear changes are not possible
- A yellow warning symbol appears with a message
- A message appears in the display
- Low battery voltage warning
