Shifter doesnt show "P"

[bigbuzuki]

This is the multifunction switch on the transmission.

It also senses the position of the gear lever selector via the cable input.

So you want to tell me this battery is toast again? 

 

Yes 12volts is either very flat battery or its toast. 

Read this from the Touareg forum, they say if not battery voltage its the kessy unit and/or door handles faulty conflicting with the the shifter selector to give "move selector to P position" dash warning.!!!!!!

I also know the kessy antennas and door handle sensors can drain batteries when faulty. Maybe all related problems Thomas?

[ekstroemtj]

Guys ! Thank you. Lots of interesting information.

looks like i have to check the situation under the car like bigbuzuki explained. 

Lewis the battery situation i will check at evening. I will messure at the jumper points and see what the reading is after one day sitting.

Please keep me posted!

 

 

Maybe i will just swap the battery from my turbo to this car and see how it works. If no change, no need for a new battery

Sorry could not do anything with the car last 2 days. Always to late at evening.  Just measure the battery. Dropped from 12 to 10,90. thats bad :-(

Ok,  hope the fix is a simple battery change. I have the same exact issue. 

[ekstroemtj]

Today i had time to continue to work on this. Have now 2 fully charged batteries inside.  Still the same. Message on the display and the missing click clack when you put in the key and take out the key from ignition. 

 

The click clack is only working without the green circuit board. Strange

[Georgeramosjr]

Any progress?

[ekstroemtj]

Its not a matter of low voltage. I have 2 new batteries. Driving arround without problems but:

the "P"  problem still excists.

no illumination on the shifter for selected gear.

according some forum members i need to check the wiring under passenger carpet for broken or bad wires. 

[bigbuzuki]

There is also a micro switch on the shifter assembly that senses when the shift lever is not in Park position.

It too can cause the message to display and prevent the key being removed when engine off.

Part number is 955-613-043-00

I hope this is the fix! If it does work, would you make a video about it?

[bigbuzuki]

A fault in the circuit from the switch to the control module can be at fault. 

Here is a similar diagram from a Touareg showing the F319 switch which inputs to the start control module J518.

I have changed the cable but unfortunately didnt change the problem.  :-(

[bigbuzuki]

Next step would be to confirm the signal from the switch F319 is getting to the control module.

[ekstroemtj]

Thank you bigbuzuki. Thats the point when i have to give it to a specialist. I dont have any glue about cars electric systems. 

[bigbuzuki]

If you can use a multimeter, you can measure the wire for continuity / short from the switch to the control module.

[ekstroemtj]

Multimeter i have. Ok.  Will give it a try. 

Have to crowl under the dash tomorrow to see if i found the places where to measure.

thank you again

[bigbuzuki]

Success smiles on Effort. 

[Georgeramosjr]

Great effort so far,  I have the same issue

Not yet. Will do it on weekends.

[ekstroemtj]

By the way, i would like to have a look behind the steering rack cover. Is it a big deal to take it away?

[ekstroemtj]

Was driving to my garage to try to fix this issue. Suddenly it was working without problems. I dont understand why. I will see if this failure is coming back. I have no explanation for this phenomen.
