P2805: Transmission Range Sensor A/B Correlation

Standardized SAE J2012 code · P28xx codes

What does P2805 mean?

The two range sensor channels A and B do not agree on the same gear selector position. Plausibility check fails after debounce.

The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.

Symptoms

  • Check engine or transmission warning light on
  • Harsh, delayed, or missing shifts
  • Possible limp mode (locked in one gear)
  • Slipping or shuddering during gear changes

Common causes

  • High One sensor mechanically misaligned
  • Medium Aged switch contacts on one channel

Likelihood is a general estimate across vehicles; your make and model may differ.

Add your car to see reports of P2805 on the same make and model first.
