P0907 — Gate Select Position Circuit High

P0907: Gate Select Position Circuit High — what it means, the affected system and what to check before replacing parts.

Meaning, symptoms, causes and checks

Gate-selection position signal: The electrical input is above its permitted range. This is an electrical finding, not an instruction to replace the monitored component. The gate-selection channel is distinct from the actuator that moves the selector and from the achieved gear. Do not treat every position-signal code as a failed actuator.

Affected system: Automated transmission gate selection

Symptoms

  • Warning light may illuminate
  • Related system function may be impaired
  • Vehicle-specific symptoms vary

Possible causes

  • Implausible sensor or switch signal, poor ground, connector corrosion, or wiring damage
  • Related wiring, connector, power or ground fault
  • Vehicle-specific mechanical or control issue

What to check

  • Record stored and pending codes and freeze-frame data
  • Compare the named sensor or switch signal with actual operating conditions; inspect the connector, reference supply, ground and harness.
  • Confirm measured values against the vehicle service information
  • Retest under the conditions that set the code
  • Compare the named sensor or switch signal with actual operating conditions; inspect the connector, reference supply, ground and harness.
  • Repair the verified cause and confirm the code does not return

Also written as: P0907-00, P090700, PO907 (some scan tools add the fault-type byte, e.g. -00).
