The P0914 fault code indicates a problem with the gear shift position circuit in your vehicle. This circuit is responsible for sensing the position of the gear shifter, whether it is in forward, reverse, or indicating the engagement of even or odd gears. Proper functioning of this circuit is critical for the vehicle's transmission system to operate smoothly and accurately.

What are the symptoms of the P0914 code?

You may experience symptoms such as:

• Inability to shift gears or transmission stuck in a specific gear
• Transmission warning light or check engine light illuminated
• Erratic shifting behavior or harsh gear changes
• Unresponsive or delayed shifting when changing gears.

What causes the P0914 code?

Common causes for the P0914 fault code include:

• Faulty gear shift position sensor
• Damaged or frayed wiring in the circuit
• Poor electrical connections or corroded terminals
• Issues with the transmission control module (TCM)
• Environmental factors like moisture or debris affecting the sensor.

How to fix P0914?

To resolve the P0914 fault code, follow these steps:

• Inspect the gear shift position sensor and replace if faulty.
• Check the wiring and connectors for any signs of damage; repair or replace as necessary.
• Ensure that electrical connections are clean and free of corrosion.
• If the issue persists, consider testing the transmission control module for faults and replacing it if needed.
