    Default "E"

    I left the house to take a trip to a neighbor town yesterday and about three blocks from house I stoped and made a left turn. My RT hesitated, screen went orange, the gear indicator showed an "E". I finished the turn and all cleared up and was fine. I returned home and checked the oil, it was at the full mark. Made the trip with no problems. Should I be concerned? This has happened only once in the 6000 miles.

    Do you manually downshift? This happened to us when we first had our . We were coming to a red light, and I was downshifting. I attribute the event to me hitting the down paddle at the same time as the SE5 was going to downshift to first anyhow.

    Check the codes if it happens again. Once in awhile is a glitch but if it get worse or the codes indicate failure vice incompatibility, you probably need a new gear position sensor.

    It does sound like a glitch. The computer does that sometimes to let us know who/what is really in charge. If it happens again, retrieve a code if possible and see the dealer.

    I do manually downshift as I approach a stop sign. I will try code retreival if it happens again.

    Displaying "E" (Note without the R+N lights flashing) denotes gear position sensor fault.

    I agree with everyone else drive on and see if it happens again.
