Description:

  • 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
