What it means

The TCM has not learned the calibration window for transmission range sensor B. Selector positions cannot be mapped reliably until adaptation completes.

Is it safe to drive?

Use caution

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.

Most likely causes

  • Adaptation lost after battery disconnect or TCM reset
