When you place your automated manual/semi automatic transmission shifter into gear, a sensor tells the TCM what gear you have selected. It then uses an electric motor to activate that gear. If the shift position sensor/transmission position sensor is not performing according to the preset parameters, a P0915 DTC will be saved.
