What to Do When the Dashboard Shows a Reminder in P Gear?

[StLawson]

When the dashboard still shows a reminder after shifting to P gear, follow these steps to resolve the issue: 1. Upon encountering this problem, try pressing the brake pedal, then shift the gear to D position and hold for 3 seconds, then press the gear shift button to re-enter P gear. If the vehicle still displays the 'Please Shift to P Gear' message after confirming the shift to P gear, it may indicate an issue with the gear position sensor. When the sensor malfunctions, the vehicle cannot correctly identify the gear position, and the only solution is to replace the gear position sensor. Additionally, check if there is any slack in the gear shift cable. 2. Attempt to shift gears again to see if the issue is resolved. If the problem persists, inspect whether the gear position sensor has poor contact. In automatic transmission models, the gear position sensor determines the position of the gear lever. If the sensor fails, it will affect gear shifting and severely impact the vehicle's normal operation. In such cases, promptly visit a repair shop to check the working condition of the gear position sensor and replace it if necessary.
