Sensor D is the fourth and last letter in this family of gear lever position sensors. A layout that needs four is described in Toyota's patent US10180184: four Hall sensors lined up along the shift direction under one magnet, whose voltage pattern flips when the lever moves sideways, so both shift and select movement can be read. P2E0C covers a general electrical fault of sensor D – interrupted wiring, no supply, signal not evaluable – without saying whether it is too low or too high (those are P2E0E and P2E0F). No manufacturer documents P2E0C, and none says which part of the lever D is assigned to. Circuit checks on transmission inputs are mandatory under CARB 1968.2 (e)(15). If only D is lost, a four-sensor design can still recognise the position.

Likely causes

Selector connector or wiring of sensor D faulty
Sensor D failed
Module input for sensor D faulty

Symptoms

  • Warning lamp or shift-system message
  • Gear selection usually still works
  • Neutral fail-safe possible after a second sensor fault
