P2E0E is set when the output of gear lever position sensor D drops beneath its lowest plausible level, usually near 0 V or 0 % duty cycle. Likely reasons are a ground short in the D signal path, a sensor without feed or a Hall element whose output died. No maker publishes P2E0E or a meaning for sensor D. Toyota's patent US10180184 treats such hard electrical faults as continuously detectable and keeps the shift position available from the three other sensors; a second abnormality then calls for a fail-safe such as neutral. For comparison, GM flags low per axis on its two-sensor XT4 lever below 5 % duty cycle (P082E, P08A1). Out-of-range detection is a CARB 1968.2 (e)(15) duty. Sensor D high is P2E0F, sensor C low P2E0A.

Likely causes

Signal path of sensor D shorted to ground
Sensor D without supply
Hall element of sensor D failed low

Symptoms

  • Shift-system warning
  • Selector still usable on the other sensors
  • Shift to neutral if another sensor fails
