What are the reasons why the Changan CS75 cannot be shifted out of P gear?
2 Answers
The reasons why the Changan CS75 cannot be shifted out of P gear are as follows: Loose or fallen screw: There is a shift lever adjustment screw installed at the rear of the transmission. If this screw is loose or fallen, the shift handle inside the car can move, but the movement cannot be transmitted to the transmission, so the gear cannot be shifted. Damaged clutch pressure plate unable to disengage: The engine continuously supplies power to the wheels, and the gears are tightly meshed to transmit power. Due to the large meshing force, it is difficult to shift gears. Broken shift lever cable: The response of the shift lever cannot be transmitted to the transmission actuator.
The issue of the Changan CS75 being stuck in Park (P) mode is actually a common malfunction. Having driven similar models myself, I've encountered this problem before—it's usually due to a faulty brake switch. You need to press the brake pedal to shift gears, and if the switch fails, the car gets locked in P mode. Another possible cause is a weak battery; insufficient power can cause the control computer to freeze, misjudging the gear status. Additionally, check if there's any obstruction under the brake pedal or if the linkage mechanism of the gear lever is rusted or jammed. Electrical issues, such as CAN bus communication errors or sensor failures, can also cause trouble. For solutions, first try pressing the brake pedal multiple times and restarting the vehicle. If that doesn’t work, it’s best to visit a repair shop to inspect the brake switch or wiring—avoid forcing the gear lever to prevent damaging mechanical components. Regular driving habits like paying attention to brake pedal feedback and maintaining the battery with periodic charging can help avoid such headaches.
