P0820

DTC P0820, sometimes indicated as P082000 is an OBD diagnostic trouble code indicating a generic fault with the vehicle powertrain (i.e. engine and gearbox). This code identifies an error with the causing gear lever x-y position sensor circuit.

The Gear Lever X-Y Position Sensor Circuit monitors the gear lever position. The DTC code P0820 is set when the gear lever position sensor circuit is open or shorted.
There are a few things that can cause this code to set. One common issue is a bad gear lever position sensor. Another common issue is a wiring issue, such as a broken wire or a connector that is not plugged in properly.
If the code is set because of a bad gear lever position sensor, the sensor will need to be replaced. If the code is set because of a wiring issue, the wiring will need to be fixed.
