The module sees a higher voltage on shift lock circuit B than the commanded state allows, such as a short to supply or, with a low-side driver, an open coil. No manufacturer documents this code publicly. The documented counterpart on circuit A is FCA P0931 in recall 16V-249, where a badly crimped BTSI solenoid terminal on 2016 Grand Cherokees set the high fault and kept the lever in Park. GHSP patents show that a shifter may carry a second lock solenoid, so circuit B can be a separate lock. CARB requires circuit fault checks on outputs, with an exemption path for safety-only systems. P092C is the low, P092A the open fault of circuit B; P0931 is the same fault on circuit A.
Medium severity. Can I keep driving?Drive as little as possible and gently. If the transmission slips or stays in one gear, go slowly to a repair shop or call for a tow truck.
Symptoms
- Lever will not release from its locked position
- Fault appears intermittently with vibration
- Warning message about the shifter or transmission
Most likely causes
- Circuit B wire shorted to a supply voltage
- Poor crimp or loose terminal at the second lock solenoid
- Open coil in the second lock solenoid
What to check, in order
Start with the simplest. You can tick off each step.
Good to know
- Repair difficulty: medium
What each character of P092D means
- P: Powertrain: engine and transmission
- 0: Generic code: same on every make
- 9: Transmission
- 2D: Specific fault in that system
Frequently asked questions
Can I keep driving with code P092D?
Drive as little as possible and gently. If the transmission slips or stays in one gear, go slowly to a repair shop or call for a tow truck.
What causes code P092D?
The most common causes are: circuit B wire shorted to a supply voltage; poor crimp or loose terminal at the second lock solenoid; open coil in the second lock solenoid.
