P082F
Gear Lever Y Position Sensor 1 Circuit High
Gear lever Y sensor 1 reads stuck high — short to reference voltage. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
