Transmission Park Only When Stationary Fault

eflo82 · 12-30-2023, 08:08 AM

So I'm getting this message on the dash when I shut off the vehicle. It also pops up every time I get into the car. This has been going on for a few months now.

ISTA shows fault "Parking Lock Hook: Not Attached To Cable"
I verified that the cable is attached to the lock hook on the DCT.

The car goes in and out of park normally. It seems like something is telling the ECU that the car is moving when it's not.

Anyone else seen this? Any idea where I should look next?

Sounds like maybe the cable is stretched there's play in it or something. I just had that apart recently putting my '13 in neutral.

Funny you mention that cause I believe I started getting the message after I had to manually put the dct in neutral to tow.
