Q: What does code P2865 mean?

Shift Fork E Position Circuit Low. P2865 indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an abnormally low voltage on the signal circuit for Shift Fork E, which is used in some automated manual or dual-clutch transmissions to select gears. The PCM expects the shift fork position sensor to report a voltage within a specific range, and a low reading tells the module that the circuit is shorted to ground or the sensor has failed.
