This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means your car's computer thinks the gear shift is stuck in the 'Park' position and can't move to another gear.
The code P07E6 indicates that the transmission park position sensor or switch is detecting that the vehicle is stuck in the 'Park' position and cannot shift out of it.
The P07E6 code is triggered when the Transmission Control Module (TCM) detects that the park position sensor or switch 'B' is stuck in the park position. This sensor is responsible for informing the TCM of the current gear position. If it fails to report any change from the park position, the TCM assumes the vehicle is stuck in park.
• Unable to shift out of park
• Check Engine Light illuminated
• Transmission warning light on
• Faulty park position sensor
• Damaged wiring or connectors
• Malfunctioning shift interlock solenoid
Transmission Control Module (TCM): A computer that controls the transmission functions.
Shift Interlock Solenoid: A device that prevents shifting out of park unless certain conditions are met.
• Check for other related codes.
• Inspect the park position sensor for damage.
• Examine wiring and connectors for corrosion or damage.
• Replace the park position sensor.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Replace the shift interlock solenoid if faulty.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Basic hand tools
