Gear Shift Reverse Actuator Circuit / Open [rearward motion, even gears, 2,4,6]
P0924 — Gear Shift Reverse Actuator Circuit / Open [rearward motion, even gears, 2,4,6]
System: Powertrain | Type: Generic (OBD-II Standard) | Make: Generic
P0924 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 P0924 is stored, the module has detected an open (broken or disconnected) electrical path in the monitored circuit.
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 P0924 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.
The P0924 fault code is set when the control module detects an open circuit condition in the gear shift reverse actuator circuit. This circuit is specifically responsible for the actuation of the gear shift mechanism for rearward motion, typically involving the even-numbered gears (2, 4, 6). An open circuit condition indicates a disruption in the electrical continuity, which can impede the normal operation of the gear shift reverse actuator. Causes for this condition can include breaks in the wiring, disconnected connectors, or faults within the actuator itself. This issue can lead to problems...
