WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
P2800 - TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR B CIRCUIT (PRNDL INPUT)

Description:  The PCM checks the gear selector position by monitoring 3 independent voltage signals from the transmission range (TR) sensor. The TR voltages are then compared to an allowed voltage range for each gear. The test fails when the compared voltages are out of range. This DTC indicates that 1 TR signal is more than 1 band away from the majority.
Possible Causes: 
  • Two TR circuits shorted together
  • Excessive resistance in 1 TR circuit
  • Damaged TR Sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  Monitor the TR_A1, TR_A2, and TR_A3 sensor voltage PIDs. The TR_A1 sensor voltage has a negative slope, and TR_A2, and TR_A3 sensor voltages have a positive slope.

  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
