P2E02Gear Lever Position Sensor A Circuit Low
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- P2E02 says the signal of gear lever position sensor A is stuck below the lowest value a healthy sensor can output. Typical reasons: the signal wire touches ground, the reference voltage is missing, or the sensor output has collapsed. No manufacturer publishes P2E02. The closest documented check is GM's per-axis version on the Cadillac XT4 electronic selector (19OBDG03D): X sensor 1 sets P082B, Y sensor 1 P082E, when the PWM duty cycle falls under 5 % in 3 of 4 samples at 25 ms, Type B. CARB 1968.2 (e)(15) asks for out-of-range detection on transmission inputs and keeps circuit and rationality faults under separate codes. The high counterpart is P2E03, sensor B low is P2E06. With a valid partner sensor the lever normally keeps working.
- What you may notice
- Warning lamp and shift-system message

- Likely causes
- LikelySignal wire of sensor A shorted to ground
- PossibleSensor reference voltage missing or pulled down
- PossibleSensor A output failed low
