The P2792 fault code indicates an issue with the Gate Select Direction Circuit being too high. This circuit is critical for controlling the gear selection in automatic transmission systems of vehicles. If this code appears, it usually signals that the voltage level in the circuit is higher than expected, which can lead to improper gear shifting behavior.

What are the symptoms of the P2792 code?

Symptoms that could accompany the P2792 fault code include:

• Transmission stuck in a single gear, commonly in limp mode
• Erratic shifting or delayed engagement of gears
• Unresponsive gear selector
• Warning lights illuminated on the dashboard, including the check engine light.

What causes the P2792 code?

Common causes for the P2792 code may include:

• Faulty transmission control module (TCM)
• Damaged wiring or connectors in the gate select direction circuit
• Short circuit in the circuit due to wear or damage
• Issues with the gear selector itself
• Problems with the transmission solenoids affecting signal transmission.

How to fix P2792?

To resolve the P2792 code, follow these steps:

1. Inspect the wiring and connectors related to the gate select direction circuit for any damage or corrosion.
2. Test the voltage levels in the circuit using a multimeter to determine if they are within the specified range.
3. If necessary, replace any faulty components, including the transmission control module or gear selector.
4. Clear the fault code and perform a test drive to ensure the issue is resolved.
