Engine running
Vehicle speed > 3 km/h
Terminal condition: Terminal 15
Voltage condition:
none

Condition for fault memory entry
2.5 sec.

Action in service
1.) Check and compare sensor values in neutral position and
other transmission positions with the initialized neutral
position using tester job
'STATUS_NULLGANG_ERKENNUNG' -> The sensor
values will vary according to transmission position
2.) If the sensor provides plausible data, and is not within
the range for the initialized neutral position when in neutral,
determine whether the sensor is installed correctly and
correct as necessary, while also reinitializing the neutral
position using tester job
'STEUERN_NULLGANG_LERNEN';
3.) If sensor is OK and installed correctly, then check and
correct the magnet's installation on the shift shaft, and
reinitialize the neutral position using tester job
'STEUERN_NULLGANG_LERNEN'.
4.) Replace neutral sensor and reinitialize neutral position
using tester job 'STEUERN_NULLGANG_LERNEN'
