This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that a part of the car that helps change gears is sending a signal that is too high, like a light bulb that's too bright.
The P0907 code indicates that the voltage in the gate select position circuit is higher than expected. This circuit is part of the transmission system that helps the car know which gear to be in.
The P0907 code is triggered when the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects a high voltage condition in the gate select position circuit 'A'. This circuit is responsible for monitoring the position of the gear selector, ensuring that the vehicle is in the correct gear.
• Check Engine Light illuminated
• Transmission may not shift properly
• Vehicle may be stuck in a single gear
• Faulty gate select position sensor
• Wiring issues such as short to voltage or open circuit
• Faulty PCM
PCM: Powertrain Control Module
OBD-II: On-Board Diagnostics, second generation
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage or corrosion.
• Test the gate select position sensor for proper operation.
• Replace or repair damaged wiring or connectors.
• Replace the gate select position sensor if faulty.
• Reprogram or replace the PCM if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter

Moderate
• Ford Focus
• Chevrolet Malibu
• Toyota Camry
• Regularly inspect and maintain transmission components.
• Ensure wiring and connectors are free from corrosion.
• Keep the vehicle's software up to date.
Sensor Issue
• Do not ignore the Check Engine Light.
• Have the vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic.
Check with your vehicle's manufacturer for specific warranty coverage related to transmission components.
This code has been associated with vehicles that have electronic transmission control systems, particularly in models with advanced gear selection mechanisms.
Moderate – Addressing this issue promptly can prevent further transmission damage.
Driving with a faulty transmission can be dangerous. Ensure repairs are made to maintain vehicle safety and compliance with emission standards.
• Vehicle must be in a safe location.
• Engine should be off during initial inspections.
The gate select position sensor is typically located on or near the transmission housing.
Q: Can I drive with a P0907 code?
A: It's not recommended to drive with this code active as it can cause transmission issues and may lead to unsafe driving conditions.
Q: How can I reset the P0907 code?
A: After repairs, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code. If the issue is fixed, the code should not return.
