P0905

2017-10-10

Description:

  • The fault code P0905 indicates a range/performance issue in the gate select position circuit. The gate select position refers to the position of the gear shift lever in vehicles with a manual transmission. This code is triggered when the signal from the gear shift lever position sensor falls outside the expected range or exhibits performance inconsistencies, suggesting a potential problem with the sensor or its control system.

Possible Symptoms:

  • Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or Check Engine Light illuminated.

  • Difficulty or failure to shift gears smoothly.

  • Inaccurate gear selection display on the instrument panel.

  • Inconsistent or erratic gear shift lever operation.

Possible Causes:

  • Faulty gear shift lever position sensor

  • Wiring or connector problem in the gate select position circuit

  • Mechanical issue with the gear shift lever mechanism

  • Poor electrical connection or ground

  • Interference or noise in the signal

Related Parts:

  • Gate Position Actuator: The gear gate assists in gear shifting. This actuator controls how the gear is selected. If the actuator fails to select the right gear, there may be slippage or other malfunctions

Possible Solutions:

  • Inspect the gear shift lever position sensor for any signs of damage or malfunction. Replace if necessary.

  • Check the wiring and connectors in the gate select position circuit for any damage, loose connections, or corrosion. Repair or replace as needed.

  • Verify the proper adjustment and operation of the gear shift lever mechanism. Repair or replace components as necessary.

  • Ensure a secure and clean electrical connection and proper grounding for the gate select position circuit.

  • Check for any sources of interference or noise in the signal, such as nearby electrical components or wiring. Address and eliminate the sources of interference.
