P0820




P0820 GEAR LEVER POSITION SENSOR

Description






Gear lever position sensor is installed in transmission and detects the gear position. When shift lever is shifted, position sensor magnet on striking rod in transmission moves and changes magnetic field of the coil in gear lever position sensor. Gear lever position sensor converts the changes in magnetic field to voltage signals and transmits them to ECM. ECM detects the gear position by these voltage signal changes.
