Code Definition

P0913 — Gate Select Actuator Circuit High

System: Powertrain  |  Type: Generic (OBD-II Standard)  |  Make: Generic

About P0913

P0913 is a generic (obd-ii standard) powertrain diagnostic trouble code. It belongs to the P-prefix family of codes, which covers engine, transmission, emissions, or fuel-system faults.

When P0913 is stored, the module has detected a signal or supply voltage higher than the expected operating range.

Scanning & clearing: A generic OBD-II scan tool will usually read and clear powertrain (P) codes. For live data, freeze-frame capture, and bi-directional tests you may need a more capable scan tool that supports the vehicle's ECM protocol.

Because P0913 is a generic OBD-II code, its base definition is shared across manufacturers. The specific diagnostic steps, reference values, and repair procedures can vary by vehicle, and the TaT Diagnostic Assistant includes verified procedures submitted by working technicians.

Code Information

The P0913 fault code is set when the control module detects a high voltage condition in the gate select actuator circuit. This typically indicates an electrical fault where the voltage in the circuit exceeds the specified range set by the manufacturer. The gate select actuator is responsible for the movement of the gear selector mechanism in automatic transmissions, and a high voltage signal in its circuit could indicate a malfunction in the actuator itself or in the related wiring.
