P0910: Gate Select Actuator Circuit/Open OBD-II Trouble Code

Vehicles with an automated manual transmission, sometimes called a semi automatic transmission or dual clutch transmission, use an electric motor (the shift and select actuator) change gears inside the transmission based upon what the driver has selected with the shifter. If the TCM thinks there is an electrical problem on the gate select actuator circuit, a P0910 DTC will be set.
