Hey guys! I am glad I found this forum, I am sure you might be able to help me

I have a 2012 Cruze with an error code 94 in the dashboard. I couldn't find anything useful on the internet, except something related to 'return the parking gear to (P)' description or something alike.

Not sure how to tackle this issue, any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!!

Really don't comprehend some of these dash display codes, is your CEL on? If you don't have a scanner, can go to Auto Zone or someplace and either get the more common B or P codes. And post these.

Does your Cruze have any other symptoms besides this code? Ha, the huge variety of vehicles I worked on going way back to the 1920's had no codes at all. Then OBD I came along with two digit numeric codes, in 1996 started with OBD II with so many different codes had to use a letter with a four digit code. Cruze has several hundred different codes, B, C, P, and U codes.

The gear shift sensor doesn't think you're in Park is the only thing I can find as well. When do you see this code?

Should also mention the country of origin.

Vehicles made and sold in the USA show text messages, no numeric codes.

Like on the DIC, one example.

Are you in Canada? I looked in US GM codes and could not find code 94 in RPO codes or Diagnostic codes. Closest codes in US were a lamp code, but you may try GM Canada | Cars, Trucks, SUVs, and Crossovers | General Motors website for Canadian vehicles, you may find help there.

I believe mine was produced in South Korea or Brazil, and is like the one in US. I get codes not text errors messages.

I get the error when I shut down the engine. I get no errors while driving and I have no other issues.

This leads more credence to the gear shift position sensor being at least out of alignment as this is the only time an automatic will warn you about not being in Park.

 

[NickD]

Neutral safety/range switch could be slightly out of alignment. Ha, use to be only one wire on these things for the starter solenoid, then added another contact for backup lights. With the AT, aniti-thief, and AT contacts, a whole bunch of contacts.

They are adjustable.

Maybe GM should hire more translators to put these numeric codes in the language the vehicles are sold in. Codes are worthless without a book.

 

[Gontzzo]

Yes guys you might be right about that sensor. Do you know if it is feasible for a DIYer to adjust it or should I take it to the dealership? I guess it should be next to the transmission right?

I have 2013 Cruze LT Full option and I receive Error Code 94 when I accidentally turn off engine on D

 

[imranmispl]

Any solution for code 94? I have experienced this and I have stop/start engine to get it disappeared.
