Durametric Code 1045 - Selector Lever Switch


Recommended Posts

My manual shift works intermittently and after driving for 20-30 minutes P-R-N-D will all light up.  Lights go out after car is turned off and restarted.  Tiptronic on steering wheel works fine and will shift into manual when selector is in manual, but intermittently switches back to automatic.  Sometimes, manual works fine with no problem.  I replaced the trim cover even though it wasn't broken and it didn't change anything.

 

Durametric gives me "1045 Selector lever switch - Implausible signal, test conditions are not-completed, fault is currently active and causing a DTC light"

 

Is this code for the selector switch on the side of the transmission or the microswitch at the shift lever?  Any other suggestions?

PROBLEM SOLVED...Hopefully.  I got ready to delve into this earlier this morning and since I'm a firm believer in the KISS method, I disconnected the Tiptronic control unit and reconnected.  Now, the manual-automatic is working as it should and the fault is gone.  I'll go back and do a thorough cleaning of the pins in the connector, but I am hopeful that this was a simple fix.
