What P2E0F means
P2E0F closes the series: sensor D, the fourth gear lever position sensor, reads above the top of its valid range. An open signal wire where the module input pulls up, contact with a voltage-carrying wire or a lost sensor ground produce this picture. No manufacturer documents P2E0F, nor the role of sensor D in a real selector. In the four-Hall-sensor arrangement of Toyota's patent US10180184 a high fault of one element leaves three sensors to determine the position, and the module watches them for a reading that would mean the opposite direction of travel. GM's two-sensor lever detects high faults per axis above 95 % duty cycle (P082F, P08A2). P2E0E is the low counterpart and P2E0B the high fault of sensor C. CARB 1968.2 (e)(15) calls for such range checks.
P2E0F at a glance
- Check engine lightYes, usually on
- Emissions testNot an emissions code
- Limp modePossible
- Repair difficultyMedium
- Typical labor0.5 to 3 hours
- Clears after repairWhen cleared with a scanner
Symptoms of P2E0F
- Warning lamp or shift message
- Normal shifting on the remaining sensors
- Neutral fail-safe after a further fault
Common causes of P2E0F
- Most likelySignal wire of sensor D open
- PossibleGround of sensor D lost
- Less likelySignal wire touching a voltage-carrying wire
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of P2E0F means
| P | Powertrain system: engine, fuel system, ignition, emissions and transmission. |
| 2 | Generic code (second SAE range): it means the same on every make. |
| 0F | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note P2E0F and any other codes stored with it: several codes together often point to one cause.
- Check for loose connectors and damaged wiring around the parts the code names.
- Check open recalls for your car: some faults are fixed for free by the dealer. Enter your VIN.
- Clear the code only after the repair. If it comes back, the fault is still there.
Buying a used car? Scan it for stored codes before you pay. A recently cleared memory can hide a problem.
Questions about P2E0F
What does P2E0F mean?
P2E0F means "Gear Lever Position Sensor D Circuit High". P2E0F closes the series: sensor D, the fourth gear lever position sensor, reads above the top of its valid range. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with P2E0F?
Drive gently and only to a workshop. With P2E0F the car can go into limp mode (reduced power) to protect itself.
Will P2E0F fail an emissions test?
P2E0F is not an emissions code, so on its own it usually does not fail an emissions test. Other stored codes or a lit check engine light still can.
How hard is P2E0F to fix?
Difficulty: medium. A typical repair takes 0.5 to 3 hours of work. This is a job for a workshop.
Will P2E0F clear itself after the repair?
Clear the code with a scanner after the repair. If the fault is fixed, it does not come back.
