P092CGear Shift Lock Solenoid/Actuator Control Circuit B Low
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- How the car detects it
- The voltage on shift lock control circuit B is lower than expected, usually because the wire or the solenoid has a path to ground. No manufacturer documents this code publicly or names the lock behind circuit B. GHSP patents describe shifters with a second solenoid next to the Park lock, for example one that holds the lever in Neutral unless speed is low and the brake is applied. CARB requires output circuits to be checked for shorts but allows safety-only systems to be left out. P092D is the high fault, P092A the open and P092B the plausibility fault of circuit B; P0930 is the low fault on circuit A. A shorted lock circuit can leave the lever locked or let it move without the brake.
