P0929Gear Shift Lock Solenoid/Actuator Control Circuit A Range/Performance
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- How the car detects it
- Set when the shift lock actuator on circuit A is electrically present but does not respond as commanded, for example it fails to reach the locked or released position. Ford stores it in the gear shift module (GSM): SSM 51057 and 53039 list P0929:77 (commanded position not reachable) on Mach-E, Escape, Bronco Sport, Maverick and Transit, fixed by GSM software or replacement; TSB 25-2045 adds P0929:00, :07 and :9A on 2021-24 F-150 together with a selector that will not leave or enter Park, and checks pin 3 of connector C211. Ford shows the wrench lamp, not the MIL. P0928, P0930 and P0931 are the pure electrical faults of circuit A, P092B the same fault on circuit B.
