Common causes

  • High likelihood: Relay failed open
  • Medium likelihood: Open wiring at sense input
  • Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance

Possible symptoms

  • Harsh, delayed, or missing shifts
  • Possible limp mode (locked in one gear)
  • Slipping or shuddering during gear changes
