P0911 on Ford
Gate Select Actuator Circuit Range/Performance
P0911 on Ford vehicles indicates gate select actuator circuit range/performance. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Ford model — most commonly on Focus. The gate select actuator circuit is functioning but performance/feedback is out of the expected range — actuator not responding as commanded.
Common Causes of P0911
- •Failing gate select actuator
- •Wiring resistance / intermittent fault
- •Mechanical binding
- •Internal TCM fault

- DPS6 Transmission Control Module (TCM) Internal Electronic Failure - Sudden No-Shift / Loss of Motive Power2012-2016
Separate from the clutch shudder that made the PowerShift famous, the DPS6's mechatronic Transmission Control Module - the electronic unit that drives the two shift actuators inside the case - suffers its own solder-joint and internal circuit failures. Failure is usually abrupt rather than progressive: the cluster throws "Transmission Malfunction - Service Now", the car drops out of gear, refuses to shift, or will not move at all, sometimes from highway speed. Clutch actuator control circuit codes (P0902, P090C, P2872, P0910/P0911) are the giveaway. Ford issued Field Service Action 15B22 (TCM reprogramming) and extended TCM coverage to 10 years / 150,000 miles under customer satisfaction programs, which is why so many owners get a TCM replaced at no charge.
