Gear position sensor short circuit to
ground or open circuit
View and note 'freeze-frame' data if
available. View and note 'sensor' data.
Make sure the sensor connector is
secure. Disconnect the engine ECM
and proceed to pinpoint
test 1:
Gear position sensor signal error -
correlation error with vehicle speed
Gear position sensor short circuit to 5
Volt sensor supply
Check cable and terminal integrity:
- Engine ECM pin B30
Disconnect sensor and
proceed to test 2
Rectify fault, proceed to
test 5
Check cable for short circuit:
- Engine ECM pin B18 to ground
- Engine ECM pin B30 to ground
- Engine ECM pin B30 to Engine ECM
pin B23
Locate and rectify wiring
fault, proceed to test 5
Check cable for short circuit:
- Engine ECM pin B30 to Engine ECM
pin B18
- Engine ECM pin B30 to Engine ECM
pin A08
- Engine ECM pin B30 to Engine ECM
pin A21
Locate and rectify wiring
fault, proceed to test 5
Check cable continuity:
- Engine ECM pin B18 to sensor pin 3
- Engine ECM pin B23 to sensor pin 4
- Engine ECM pin B30 to sensor pin 1
Renew gear position sensor
and contact pin and
proceed to test 5
Locate and rectify wiring
fault, proceed to test 5
Reconnect harness, clear fault code
and run engine to verify fault cleared.
