Code Definition

P0914 — Gear Shift Position Circuit [senses forward / rearward position, odd / even gears]

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

About P0914

P0914 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 P0914 is stored, the module has detected an electrical-circuit fault in the wiring, connector, or driver associated with the named component.

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 P0914 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 P0914 fault code is triggered when the control module detects an issue within the gear shift position circuit. This circuit is responsible for sensing the forward and rearward position of the gear shifter, particularly distinguishing between odd and even gears. The fault is typically set when the signal from the gear shift position sensor to the control module is out of the expected range, indicating a potential fault in the sensor or associated circuitry.
