MULTI-MODE MANUAL TRANSAXLE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0821

DTC Code DTC Name
P0821 Gear Lever "X" Position Circuit

DESCRIPTION

Based on the signal from the transmission shift main switch, the transmission control ECU detects whether the shift lever position is in the E or M position. If the shift lever position switch is ON despite the shift lever position being N or R, the transmission control ECU sets the DTC.

For more details of the transmission shift main switch, refer to DTC P0820 Click here.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
