In such a repair job, the customer complains that the above-mentioned problems occur after removing the vehicle key.
If the gear selector lever is set to the "P" position, the system will not recognise the parking position.
If this is the case, the parking position switch is defective and must be replaced.
In order to exclude other possible causes of malfunction, electrical and mechanical system tests (in accordance with vehicle manufacturer specifications) and also a fault code query using a suitable diagnostic unit should be carried out.
Please note that the vehicle manufacturer's repair and maintenance instructions are always to be observed and that such repair work should only be carried out by an authorised specialist workshop.
