Flashing PRNDS - flashes starts when gear selector button depressed

[dave1814]

hi guys, ive got an on going issue with my mk5 GTI DSG that's starting to annoy me now!

The car drives fine without issues, however when I push the button on the gear selector PRNDS starts to flash on the dash, when I select a gear it continues to flash until i put it back into park.

I've checked the micro switch under the stick but that seems fine and its not stuck.

VCDS shows the following errors straight after this problem occurs....

Address 01: Engine Labels: 06F-907-115-AXX.clb
1 Fault Found:
005668 - MIL Request Signal Active (Check TCM for errors too!)

Address 16: Steering wheel Labels: 1K0-953-549-MY8.lbl

Ive read the measuring block 005 for the transmission, im not sure this is normal, but when I press the gear selector button I get Not OK under status key removal lock, is this normal? (attached images).

This is before the button is depressed...

I get this when its pressed...

thanks!
Dave

hi, yeh i saw that, thanks - i have checked the catch and it looks to engage and disengage correctly when the brake is depressed. could be the lock then im assuming? or faulty electronics in the Gear Selector Mechanism?
