With P2E0D the fourth lever sensor, D, stays within its electrical limits but its reading does not fit the lever position. No manufacturer documents P2E0D. Toyota's four-sensor patent (US10180184) gives a model for such a test: the module compares the voltage differences between the Hall sensors with a preset tolerance and declares one abnormal if it falls outside. A second check in the patent matters while driving: the remaining sensors must not report a range for the opposite direction of travel, which guards against a wrong forward/reverse change. A sensor stuck at a middle value may pass until a specific lever position is selected, so the code can appear late. CARB 1968.2 (e)(15) requires rationality checks of transmission inputs. Sensor C's equivalent is P2E09.

Likely causes

Sensor D frozen at a middle value
Magnet position in the lever changed by wear or impact
Selector software tolerance needs an update

Symptoms

  • Code appears only after selecting a certain position
  • Warning lamp or shift message
  • Limp-home with fewer sensors
