P092AGear Shift Lock Solenoid/Actuator Control Circuit B/Open

  • Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
How the car detects it
Reports an open on control circuit B of the shift lock. No manufacturer documents this code publicly, and none says which lock is B. One possible use is a second lock actuator: GHSP patents describe shifters where a further solenoid holds the lever in Neutral below a set speed unless the brake is pressed, beside the usual Park lock. CARB requires output circuits to be checked for continuity but may exempt safety-only systems. The FCA recall on the BTSI solenoid shows how such a lock fails in practice. P0928 is the same open fault on circuit A, P092B the plausibility fault, P092C and P092D the low and high faults of circuit B. Expect a lever that is locked in a position or no longer locked.
What you may notice
  • Selector lever locked in one position although the brake is pressed

Likely causes
  • LikelyBroken wire or loose terminal on circuit B at the shifter
  • PossibleOpen coil in the second lock solenoid
  • RareShifter connector not fully seated after console work
