- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- P2844 points to a fork D signal whose timing wanders. GM's Corvette dual-clutch software derives the rod 4 sensor frequency from its period and expects 1500 to 2500 Hz; leaving that window for 150 ms stores a Type A fault, and the check is skipped while cranking or with reference B out of tolerance. Ford's 2024 summary books the frequency test of TR9070 rod sensor 4 under P2844. Mercedes-Benz lists no intermittent code for fork D in its 8G-DCT set; it only has the electrical code P2840 and the malfunction code P2841 for this sensor. Because fork D shares the even shaft and reference B with fork C on the Corvette, checking whether P283F is stored as well helps separate a common harness section from a single sensor. Expect sporadic shift hesitation and a lamp that may go out again.
