P0924 Fault Code

Gear Shift Reverse Actuator Circuit / Open [rearward motion, even gears, 2,4,6]

• What does that mean?
• Symptoms
• Causes
• Solutions

• The P0924 fault code refers to issues with the gear shift reverse actuator circuit, which can prevent the vehicle from engaging reverse gear properly.
• Typically, this code is triggered when the actuator circuit encounters an open circuit condition, meaning it is unable to complete the pathway needed for reverse gear engagement.
• The problem can occur during rearward motion or when attempting to shift into reverse while in other gear ranges, such as 2, 4, or 6.

What are the symptoms of the P0924 code?

• Symptoms associated with the P0924 fault code may include:
  • Inability to shift into reverse gear.
  • Unusual noises when attempting to engage reverse.
  • Warning lights on the dashboard, including the check engine light.
  • Transmission may be stuck in a forward gear, preventing rearward motion.

What causes the P0924 code?

• Common causes of the P0924 code include:
  • Damaged wiring or poor connections in the actuator circuit.
  • Faulty reverse actuator or gear shift module.
  • Problems with the vehicle's transmission control module (TCM).
  • Mechanical issues within the transmission that affect gear engagement.

How to fix P0924?

• To fix the P0924 code, you would typically:
  • Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
  • Test the gear shift reverse actuator for proper function and replace if necessary.
  • Reprogram or replace the transmission control module if it is found to be faulty.
  • Ensure that the vehicle's transmission fluid is at the proper level and in good condition, as low fluid can affect gear engagement.
