6. Checking Gear-Shift Position Sensor

Checking Gear-Shift Position Sensor







HINT: The gear-shift position sensor can malfunction if the signal cable has been short-circuited to supply voltage. Check the gear-shift position sensor as follows:

- Ignition off.
- Transmission connector connected.
- Control module connected.
- Ignition on.
- Read off gear-shift position sensor position.

Move the gear selector to all shift positions a number of times, and repeatedly select the same position to check the operation of the gear-shift position sensor. If the gear-shift position sensor function is OK the cause of the fault was contact resistance and oxidation.

Are all positions OK?

YES: Refer to Trouble Code Descriptions. Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions
NO: Refer to Replacing Component. 5. Replacing Component
