P0917 OBD-II: Gear Shift Position Circuit High
P0917 Severity
Will P0917 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 P0917?
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 P0917 is stored. The Shift Lever Position Sensor is usually built into the Shift Lever Assembly.
