P2806 — Transmission Range Sensor Alignment

The TCM detects that the transmission range sensor mechanical alignment is outside the calibration window. Selector positions read with offset across the entire travel.

General code reference. Confirm the definition and diagnostic procedure for your vehicle's year, model and engine. A stored code alone does not identify a failed part.

Affected components

  • Transmission range sensor
  • Selector linkage

Possible causes to check

These are possible checks, not a ranked diagnosis. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's test procedure before replacing parts.

  • Selector linkage shifted on the sensor shaft
  • Sensor mounting bolts loose

Possible symptoms

  • Check engine or transmission warning light on
  • Harsh, delayed, or missing shifts
  • Possible limp mode (locked in one gear)
  • Slipping or shuddering during gear changes

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate

Check each reference's vehicle and model-year scope. General background links do not establish which fault is most likely on your vehicle.

Diagnostic information is provided for reference only. Confirm the code with a compatible scan tool and follow the vehicle manufacturer's service procedures before replacing components.
