Defect
On medium-duty buses equipped with automated mechanical transmissions, the programming equipment used to write data to the gear position sensor was configured incorrectly. As a result, temperature compensation values were not written to the gear position sensor on affected units. When the vehicle is driven on uphill grades and the sensor reaches high operating temperatures, it may fail to output correct signals, causing the warning light to illuminate and preventing gear changes.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the affected gear position sensor with a non-defective unit.
