How to solve the problem that Changan CS75 cannot shift to P gear?
2 Answers
The solution to the problem that Changan CS75 cannot shift to P gear is: 1. Replace the shift solenoid valve; 2. Replace the shift structure. Taking the 2021 Changan CS75 as an example, it belongs to a compact SUV, with a body size of: length 4650mm, width 1850mm, height 1715mm, wheelbase of 2700mm, fuel tank capacity of 58l, and luggage compartment capacity of 520l. The 2021 Changan CS75 has a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5t turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 178ps, a maximum power of 131kw, and a maximum torque of 265nm, matched with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've been running an auto repair shop for many years and have encountered the issue of the Changan CS75 not being able to shift into P gear quite a few times. The main cause could be a faulty brake light switch—many car models are designed to require the brake pedal to be pressed before shifting gears. If the switch fails, the signal isn't detected, causing the gear to get stuck. Another possibility is mechanical jamming in the gear lever, such as rusted springs or linkages inside the lever. My advice is not to panic—try pressing the brake pedal and shifting again, or gently shaking the lever to see if it resets. If that doesn't work, quickly check the relevant fuses in the fuse box to see if any have blown. I've seen many owners forcefully pull the lever, only to end up damaging the transmission and incurring higher repair costs. Safety first—after parking, engage the handbrake firmly to secure the car, then seek a professional repair shop. Also, a friendly reminder: during your next maintenance session, ask the technician to inspect the gear shift mechanism and brake system to prevent such issues from escalating. Don't wait until it becomes a major problem.
