P095DGear Shift Position Circuit C High
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- Shift position sensor C of an automated manual gearbox delivers a voltage above its permitted window. This usually points to a signal wire shorted to the supply, a broken sensor ground or, with a pulled-up input, an interrupted signal line. Since no real shift position produces such a value, the module can set the code without cross-checking other channels. No manufacturer documents this code publicly. A Nissan/Aichi patent describes shift stroke sensors as feedback for gear engagement, an Aisin AI patent how control continues when one of them fails. CARB requires circuit checks on such inputs. P095C is the low counterpart, P095A the general and P095B the plausibility fault; P0917 and P091D are the high faults of A and B.
- What you may notice
- Transmission or engine warning light on
- Fallback mode with restricted gears
- Jerky or aborted gear changes
- Likely causes
- LikelySignal wire of sensor C shorted to the 5 V supply or battery voltage
- PossibleOpen ground circuit 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.
