| DTC Code | DTC Name |

| P0909 | Gate Select Control Error |
DESCRIPTION
In the multi-mode manual transaxle system, the transaxle gear is shifted up and down by the TCM using a shift and select actuator. The shift and select actuator assembly consists of two motors (shift motor and select motor), stroke sensors (shift stroke sensor and select stroke sensor) and gears which move the shift and select lever shaft. The select motor moves the shift and select lever shaft in the select direction in accordance with the signal from the TCM.
This DTC is stored in accordance with the stroke speed of the shift and select actuator or the difference between the target select position and the actual select position. Therefore, if malfunctions occur in the select stroke sensor or the select motor circuit, the DTCs relating to the sensor or motor circuit open/short (DTC P0905, P0906, P0907 and/or P0910) are stored before this DTC is stored.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
When installing parts related to the multi-mode manual transaxle system, perform the initialization and learning and synchronization position calibration procedures. In addition, the required operations differ according to the parts to be installed. Proceed with the operation in the order shown in the table below.
| Part Installed | Operation Order | See Procedure |
|---|---|---|
|
1. Initialization and learning of multi-mode manual transaxle system | |
| 2. Synchronization position calibration | ||
|
1. Initialization and learning of multi-mode manual transaxle system |
If the sensor or actuator is installed without the initialization and learning procedures, it may cause driving performance degradation or system component breakage.
Tech Tips
If the symptom still occurs even after checking the shift heads and shift fork shafts for dirt, wear, and defects and replacing the defective parts, replace the TCM.
PROCEDURE
PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (TARGET GEAR POSITION CONTROL)
Remove the shift and select actuator assembly.
Connect the shift and select actuator assembly connector.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Multi-Mode M/T / Active Test / Target Gear Position Control.
