GT86 gear shift indicator failure

Hi, I'm having a weird issue with my 2016 Toyota GT86 (gasoline engine). It's got about 184039 km on the clock. The gear shift indicator on the instrument panel is completely dead. Now it is not possible to engage the gears. The automatic transmission shifts erratically, and the gearbox slips. I can also hear grinding noises when it shifts. I plugged in my OBD reader and there's an error stored in the memory, but I don't know what it means. Any ideas?

Summary of the thread

A 2016 Toyota GT86 is experiencing a gear shift indicator failure, leading to erratic automatic transmission shifts, gear engagement issues, and grinding noises. The problem may be due to a defective control unit, as suggested by another owner who faced a similar issue. The recommended solution is to have the vehicle diagnosed and potentially replace the control unit at a workshop.

Hey, I had something similar happen on my GT86. Is the gear selection display in the speedometer also without function? If so, it might be the same issue I had.

Yes, the gear selection display is indeed without function. What was the problem?

Sounds like the affected control unit is defective. You will need a replacement. In my case, it was also the control unit. It cost me about 1000€ at the workshop. I'd suggest taking it in to get it diagnosed properly and fixed.

Thanks for the help! I'll take it to a workshop and have them check the control unit.
