Check the cause
Locate the Park Lock Proximity Switch on the axle and inspect for physical damage, heavy debris buildup, or misalignment that could prevent it from reading the park lock position.
Inspect the wiring harness leading from the TRANS1 module to the proximity switch for chafed wires, breaks, or corrosion.
Disconnect the switch and check the connector pins for corrosion, moisture ingress, or poor terminal tension.
Test the circuit for open circuits, short circuits to ground (-), or short circuits to power (+12V).
Repair steps
