P0919 - Gear Shift Position Control Error

The transmission controller is seeing a problem with the shift-position or shift-command circuit, often caused by a sensor fault, actuator issue, or wiring problem.

Code Overview

Common Causes

• Faulty shift-position sensor or actuator
• Wiring or connector issue
• Shifter mechanism binding or misadjustment

Diagnostic Steps

1. Verify the shifter reaches each position cleanly
2. Inspect the shifter, range sensor, and actuator wiring
3. Watch commanded versus actual gear or lever position on a scan tool
4. Check for linkage misadjustment before suspecting internal transmission damage
