Gear Lever X Position Sensor 1 Circuit Range/Performance

Where it lives

For P082A, the description names the sensor as the part involved.

Check these first

• A gear lever X position sensor 1 that reads off range
• Corrosion at the sensor 1 connector
• A chafed signal wire in the sensor 1 harness
• A worn gear lever gate mechanism
• A TCM that misreads the sensor 1 signal

What to do next

1. Read gear lever X position sensor 1 on a scan tool
2. Move the lever through each gate and watch the reading
3. Inspect the sensor 1 connector and pins
4. Check the reference voltage at the sensor
5. Replace the sensor if the sweep is uneven
6. Clear the code and retest
