Flashing PRNDS - flashes starts when gear selector button depressed

(1/1)

hi guys, ive got an on going issue with my mk5 dsg thats starting to annoy me now!

The car drives fine without issues, however when I push the button on the gear selector PRNDS starts to flash on the dash, when I select a gear it continues to flash until i put it back into park.

I've checked the micro switch under the stick but that seems fine and its not stuck.

VCDS shows the following errors straight after this problem occurs....

Ive read the measuring block 005 for the transmission, im not sure this is normal, but when I press the gear selector button I get Not OK under status key removal lock, is this normal?

This is before the button is depressed...


this when its pressed...


Sorry for the long winded post - hope it makes sense!

thanks!
Dave

Almost 4 years later and I finally solved this issue.

I took the cover off from around the ignition and the ignition barrel lock sensor fell out!!!

Put this back in and no more flashing on the dash!

Hope this helps someone!

I've attached an image of said sensor!
