    What does P0957 Mean?

    OBD-II Code Powertrain Control Module (PCM) failure is defined as a Auto Shift Manual Mode Circuit Low

    Some vehicles equipped with automatic transmission will give the driver the option of selecting the desired gear while driving, known as Autostick Shifting. The shifter will usually either have a + ahd - button on it, or shift side to side when in Drive. If the downshift switch does not function correctly, code P0957 will set and the Autostick shift function will be disabled.

    How do you troubleshoot P0957 ?

    If the scan tool has that capability, and the scan tool can operate the IMRC valves, then the problem is either resolved and a simple code clearing is all that's left or a new PCM would be called for. With the valve disconnected, the red voltmeter lead should be attached to the IMRC valve power wire and the black voltmeter lead connected to ground. If the engine displays a miss and there wasn't a code, determine which cylinder is misfiring. If the exhaust manifold is visible, spay or pour a small amount of water on each cylinder exhaust port. Water will evaporate immediately on good cylinders and slowly on the missing cylinder. If this can't be accomplished pull the plugs and check the condition.
