This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means there's a problem with the sensor that tells the car's computer what position the gear lever is in.
The Gear Lever Position Sensor D Circuit is responsible for sending signals to the car's computer about the gear lever's position. If there's an issue with this circuit, the computer may not know what gear the car is in.
The P2E0C code indicates a malfunction in the Gear Lever Position Sensor D Circuit. This sensor is part of the transmission system and helps the vehicle's control module determine the current gear position. A fault in this circuit can lead to incorrect gear readings and potential transmission issues.
• Check Engine Light is on
• Transmission may not shift properly
• Inaccurate gear display on the dashboard
• Faulty gear lever position sensor

Sensor Issue
• Have the issue diagnosed by a professional.
• Avoid driving the vehicle until repaired to prevent further damage.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer for warranty coverage on transmission components.
This code has been associated with issues in vehicles with electronic gear shift systems, particularly in models with complex transmission systems.
Moderate – It is advisable to address this issue soon to avoid potential transmission problems.
Driving with a faulty gear position sensor may lead to unsafe driving conditions. Ensure repairs are made promptly.
• Vehicle in Park
• Engine running
The gear lever position sensor is typically located near the gear shift mechanism or within the transmission assembly.
Q: Can I drive with a P2E0C code?
A: It's not recommended to drive with this code active, as it can lead to transmission issues.
Q: How do I reset the P2E0C code?
A: After repairs, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code. If the problem persists, further diagnosis is needed.
