Technical Service Bulletin
Please read the entire work procedure before starting the actual work so the scope and number of the
repair options are understood completely.
If the DTC P17F900 with symptom code: 22345 is stored Active/Static (Figure 1) continue with this repair. If the
DTC is not active/static and/or the symptom code does not match, this TSB does not apply.

Figure 1. DTC code, active/static, and symptom code.
1. Follow Guided Fault Finding for the DTC and if the result of the test plan states to replace the Parking Lock
Solenoid N486 then proceed with this repair.
If Guided Fault Finding recommends a different repair this TSB does not apply.
2. If the result of the Guided Fault Finding test plan was to replace Parking Lock Solenoid N486 the next step is
to remove the Mechatronics unit per the Elsa Repair Manual.
3. After removing the Mechatronics unit perform a visual inspection of the installation of the bolts for pressure
filter 2 (Figure 2, Position 10 and 11) this is the smaller of the 2 canister filters installed to the mechatronics
unit with 3 bolts attaching the filter to the unit (Figure 3).

4. After inspecting the bolts there are 3 different repairs that can be performed depending on your findings:
Option 1
One or more bolts are loose (Figure 4).
You may also see the securing ring is not flush to the valve
body which would mean the bolts are loose.
If the bolts are loose, replace pressure filter 2 along with
the bolts as described in the Workshop Manual. Claim
Option 1 in the Warranty Table below.

replace the Mechatronics unit and note this on the repair
order). Claim Option 2 in the Warranty Table below.

requires the HV system to be deactivated. Read and
follow all of the Elsa Repair Manual steps and safety
precautions.
