P0916 OBD-II: Gear Shift Position Circuit Low
P0916 Severity
Moderate
Will P0916 go away on its own?
Once the vehicle's onboard system no longer detects the issue, most codes will disappear on their own. If your vehicle still has this code, however, it should be properly diagnosed to avoid a more serious problem.
For a proper diagnosis, RepairPal Certified shops have the equipment, tools, and expertise.
Moderate severity codes might not threaten the vehicle's safety or functionality immediately, but you should still get it diagnosed within a reasonable time frame to keep your car running well.
What causes OBD-II fault code P0916?
Manual Transmissions have a sensor mounted on the shift lever that tells the engine computer (PCM) what gear the transmission is in. If the Shift Lever Position Sensor sends the PCM an implausible signal, code P0916 is stored.
