Condition




The gear-shift position sensor signals provide the transmission control module (TCM) with data on the gear selector position. This is done by grounding a combination of signals A, B, C and PA inside the gear position sensor. Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) AT-313 is stored if the transmission control module (TCM) registers an unacceptable combination of A, B, C and PA for a period of approximately 5 seconds as shown below.





• = 0-2 V below battery voltage
O = ground

Substitute value
The control module "Limp Home" program has been initiated.

Possible source
- Short-circuit to supply voltage or ground in the signal cable.
- Open-circuit in the signal cable.
- Incorrectly adjusted gear-shift position sensor.
- Defective gear-shift position sensor.
- Contact resistance in the terminals.

Fault symptom[s]
- The warning lamp in the combined instrument panel flashes.
- Deterioration in performance because the transmission control module (TCM) prevents activation of the solenoids, this stops gear-shifting. The transmission only operates in 3rd gear in positions 3 and L, 4th gear in position D and back-up (reverse) gear in position R. Shifting can only be carried out manually between 3rd, 4th, and back-up (reverse) gear.
- No line pressure solenoid STH control, resulting in constant maximum line pressure. This leads to harsher shifting and gear meshing.
- No lock-up function.

Caution! The gear-shift position sensor will malfunction if there is a short-circuit to supply voltage.
