How Serious Is the Code?
If your vehicle’s computer cannot determine that you have selected the correct gear for the situation, the transmission may not shift properly, and a diagnostic code P0824 will be recorded.
Symptoms
Symptoms of a P0824 include:
Harsh shifting
Failure to shift gears
Causes
- Damaged connectors and/or wiring
- Transmission range sensor needs adjustment
- Transmission range sensor is faulty
How to Diagnose the Code?
An OBDII fault code P0824 is often caused by electrical issues that can be attributed to damaged wiring or connectors. The transmission range sensor itself may be out of adjustment if recent work has been done on the transmission. Otherwise, the sensor itself may be the issue.
