Gear Lever X Position Sensor 2 Circuit Intermittent/Erratic

Where it lives

For P089E, the circuit described runs through the sensor. The description of P089E reports a fault at the sensor.

Check these first

• A sensor 2 connector losing contact
• Chafed wiring along the sensor 2 run
• A sensor 2 that drifts when warm
• A worn gear lever gate mechanism
• A TCM fault

What to do next

1. Road test and watch gear lever X sensor 2 data
2. Wiggle test the sensor 2 connector and harness
3. Reread sensor 2 while hot
4. Inspect the gear lever gate mechanism
5. Replace the sensor if the signal drifts
6. Clear the code and retest
