Welcome aboard.  If you want to change your username to something other than your email (to keep a little OPSEC) let me know and I can change it.

 

If you go to the top of the page in the toolbar, there is a button labeled "service manuals".  If you download the factory service manual for your machine (free) you can look up error codes and the manual also offers troubleshooting instructions.

 

For a 2012, 24 error code is shift control motor drive circuit.

 

So looking at the manual go to section 23-20 and it tells you how to troubleshoot.  Now that being said, if you follow the instructions and the problem isn't found, THAT is where the guys here can usually add some other instructions to try.

I would take a guess the motor brushes are worn out, or something related to it.

Changed shift motor now code 22 what is going on

[ATC4ever 1,078]

Did you happen to remove the angle sensor? I wonder was the machine in N when you installed the shift motor or was it stuck in gear? It may have to be lined up. I would also check the connections to make sure they are clean & getting good contact.

Code 22 is still related to the shift motor.  If you follow that link Fishfiles posted, you can download the factory service manual (free, I might add).

 

Go to section 23-18 and it will give you detailed instructions on how to find the culprit of your error code.

Thank you for all the help. Removed shift motor and reinstall it must have been off center.  Thank you again
