The P0913 fault code indicates a problem with the gate select actuator circuit being too high. This actuator is responsible for selecting gear ranges in the transmission, and its failure can lead to issues with gear shifting, affecting the overall driving experience.

What are the symptoms of the P0913 code?

Common symptoms associated with P0913 include:

• Inability to shift gears properly
• Harsh or erratic shifting behavior
• Illumination of the check engine light
• Transmission stuck in one gear mode or failing to engage at all

What causes the P0913 code?

A high voltage signal or short circuit in the gate select actuator circuit can lead to this code. Possible causes include:

• Damaged wiring or connectors
• Faulty gate select actuator
• Issues within the transmission control module (TCM)
• Internal transmission problems

How to fix P0913?

To resolve the P0913 code, follow these steps:

1. Inspect the wiring and connectors for signs of damage or corrosion. Repair or replace as necessary.
2. Test the gate select actuator for proper operation. Replace if faulty.
3. Check the transmission control module for errors or issues.
4. Clear the fault codes and conduct a test drive to ensure the problem is resolved.
