This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
The car's computer is having trouble understanding where the gear lever is because a sensor is sending too much electricity.
The Gear Lever Position Sensor B is sending a voltage signal that is higher than expected, indicating a potential issue with the sensor or its circuit.
The P2E07 code is triggered when the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects a high voltage signal from the Gear Lever Position Sensor B. This sensor is responsible for providing the PCM with information about the current position of the gear lever. A high voltage signal can indicate an open circuit, a short to voltage, or a faulty sensor.
• Check Engine Light is on
• Transmission may not shift properly
• Vehicle may not start
• Erratic gear indication on the dashboard
• Faulty Gear Lever Position Sensor B
• Open or shorted wiring in the sensor circuit
• Poor electrical connection at the sensor
• 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 voltage and ground signals at the sensor.
• Check the sensor for proper operation.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Replace the Gear Lever Position Sensor B.
• Clear the code and test drive to confirm the repair.
• Replace the PCM if necessary after other repairs.
• OBD-II scanner
• Digital multimeter
• Basic hand tools
• Replacement sensor (if needed)

Moderate
• Toyota Camry
• Honda Accord
• Ford Focus
• Regularly inspect and maintain vehicle wiring.
• Avoid exposure of electrical components to moisture.
• Ensure connectors are securely fastened.
Sensor Issue
• Do not ignore the Check Engine Light.
• Have the vehicle inspected by a professional.
• Avoid driving if the transmission is behaving erratically.
Check if the sensor is covered under the vehicle's powertrain warranty.
This code is relatively uncommon but can occur in vehicles with electronic gear shift systems.
Moderate – Should be addressed soon to avoid potential transmission issues.
Driving with a faulty gear position sensor can lead to unsafe driving conditions.
• Vehicle in Park or Neutral
• Engine running
The Gear Lever Position Sensor B is typically located near the gear shift lever or within the transmission housing.
Q: Can I drive with a P2E07 code?
A: It's not recommended, as it may cause transmission issues or unsafe driving conditions.
Q: How do I reset the P2E07 code?
A: After repairs, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code, or disconnect the battery for a few minutes to reset the system.
