P095CGear Shift Position Circuit C Low
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- The signal of shift position sensor C in an automated manual gearbox lies below its permitted voltage window. Typical reasons are a signal wire shorted to ground, a lost sensor supply or a sensor with an internal fault pulling its output down. Because the value is physically impossible, the control unit can flag it quickly without comparing it to other channels. No manufacturer documents this code publicly. A Nissan/Aichi patent shows shift stroke sensors as the position feedback for gear engagement, an Aisin AI patent the fallback strategy when such a sensor drops out. CARB requires circuit checks on such inputs. P095D is the high counterpart, P095A the general and P095B the plausibility fault; P0916 and P091C are the low faults of A and B.
- What you may notice
- Transmission or engine warning light on
- Fallback mode with restricted gears
- Gearbox may refuse to leave neutral
- Likely causes
- LikelySignal wire of sensor C shorted to ground
- PossibleOpen or shorted 5 V supply of the sensor
- PossibleInternally failed shift position sensor C
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
