Another interesting gearbox fault.

Did you have any other symptoms other than the code in memory and why did you decide to replace the F125 switch?

I ask because I get this code and occasional "oddness" in terms of a variable throttle response, but no obvious link between them.

I should have explained it better, I had the 01119 stored all the time. Even after cancelling it would return after every journey. The trans module eventually gave me a similar fault reading which was for the f125 switch. Neither code has come back since i replaced it.

OK, thanks, not my situation.
If I clear the 01119 error it comes back "sooner or later" (usually sooner) but not after every journey.
And I have no other codes and no warning lights.

Do you recall what the TCU error was?

It seems to be a pain, i've just been researching 01119. I can't see how the speed senders can be connected to this fault but you never know.

The fault was 17090 Trans range sender f125 implausible signal. This ties in perfectly with 01119 as the abs unit can't understand the gear selection position. When I replaced it I thought that the state of the connector was more to blame than the f125 itself. Worth a loom at the connector first as the f125 is an awful job even on a ramp.

Yes, I've (along with others) looked at just about everything posted online about these issues and corrosion in the connector seems to be something to look at, and if possible deal with, first.
