The IMS does not indicate a valid Park, Reverse, Neutral or Drive Range gear position for 7 seconds.
P1915
The manual shift shaft IMS switch assembly does not indicate Park or Neutral during the following sequence:
* The engine speed is less than 50 RPM for more than 0.15 seconds.
* The engine speed is 50-480 RPM for more than 0.07 seconds.
* The engine speed is greater than 525 RPM for more than 3.25 seconds.
* The transmission input shaft speed is 200 RPM or greater.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTCs P182E and P1915 are Type A DTCs.
* The TCM commands maximum line pressure.
* The TCM turns off all solenoids - HSD1 and HSD2.
* The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.
* The TCM defaults the transmission to third gear if the current gear is 1st, 2nd, or 3rd; or fifth gear if the current gear is 4th, 5th, or 6th gear.
* The TCM inhibits TCC.
* The TCM inhibits Tap up and Tap down functions.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P182E and P1915 are Type A DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Perform the Shift Control Linkage Adjustment (All Wheel Drive) (See: Transmission and Drivetrain/Automatic
Transmission/Transaxle/Shift Linkage/Adjustments)Shift Control Linkage Adjustment (Rear Wheel Drive) (See: Transmission and
Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Shift Linkage/Adjustments) procedure to verify proper adjustment.
2. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool IMS parameter while moving the gear shift lever from Park, through all gear selector positions, and back
to Park. The parameter should match each gear range that is selected. Refer to Transmission Internal Mode Switch Logic (See:
Specifications/Mechanical Specifications/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/System Specifications/Transmission Internal Mode Switch
Logic).
3. Observe the scan tool Engine Control Module P/N switch parameter with the gear selector in Park and Neutral position. The parameter
