P095AGear Shift Position Circuit C
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- Circuit C is a third channel reporting the shift position inside an automated manual gearbox, for example a further sensor track or a sensor on another shift rail or selector shaft. This general circuit code sets on an electrical fault of that signal that fits none of the more specific C variants. No manufacturer documents the code publicly, and which sensor carries the letter C depends on the design. A Nissan/Aichi patent describes shift stroke sensors as the feedback for engaging gears, an Aisin AI patent the fallback when a stroke sensor fails. CARB requires circuit checks on such inputs. P095B to P095D are the C siblings, P0914 and P091A the same signal on circuits A and B. Shifting may be restricted.
- What you may notice
- Transmission or engine warning light on
- Slower or restricted gear changes in fallback mode
- Gearbox may hold a gear or stay in neutral
- Likely causes
- LikelyLoose or corroded connector at shift position sensor C
- PossibleDamaged signal, supply or ground wire of sensor circuit C
- PossibleFaulty shift position sensor C
- RareFaulty sensor input in the transmission control module
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
