DTC P0929, sometimes indicated as P092900 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 shift lock solenoid/actuator control circuit "a" range/performance.

The P0929 code means that there is a problem with the gear shift lock solenoid or actuator control circuit "A". This could mean that the solenoid is not working properly, there is a wiring problem, or there is another issue with the circuit.
There are several things that could cause this code, including a bad solenoid, a wiring problem, a bad actuator, or a problem with the power or ground supply to the actuator.
If you have this code, the first step is to check the wiring and connectors for any signs of damage or corrosion. Then, test the solenoid for continuity and voltage. If the solenoid is bad, replace it. If there is a wiring problem, fix it. If the actuator is bad, replace it. If there is a problem with the power or ground supply to the actuator, fix it.
