You the man

Huge help, thank you!

I used backprobe and in Park or Neutral there is voltage (B+). In other positions its ground potential. So this means one of the module is bad. Could also be the IPDM module, HYbrid control module (it’s a hybrid infinity) or defective TCM

that was a very helpful video! so I accidentally spilled soda in my '09 Optima's gear selector. I superficially cleaned it, but a few weeks later, my check engine light came on, and it reads this same code. do you think it could be the reason?

Part number please

Is it okay or safe to drive with this code

[@PathToProsper209]

Yes you can drive it but it can make the car go into limp mode. And it can cause more damage . Buy the part off rockauto and install yourself . Very easy to fix

@PathToProsper209 okay thanks 🙏🏽
