Toyota 8-Pin Shift Lever & Shift Module Wire Harness Connector – OEM 90980 Series

This 8-pin female connector is used in Toyota shift lever assembly and shift module harnesses. The 8-pin configuration integrates shift position sensor, shift lock solenoid, illumination, and CAN bus communication circuits for the electronic gear selector system. Available bare or with 15cm pre-wired leads.

Key Specifications

Why Shift Module Connectors Fail

Shift lever and shift module connectors are exposed to repeated mechanical stress from gear selector movement, heat from the center console, and spilled liquids. Terminal corrosion or housing damage causes shift position sensor faults, shift lock solenoid failures (gear stuck in Park), or P-code and U-code transmission communication faults. Replacing the connector restores clean shift module signal continuity.

Variant Guide

• Female – Bare 8-pin housing with terminals
• Female 15CM – Pre-wired with 15cm leads for direct splice-in installation

Installation Steps

1. Disconnect the vehicle battery
2. Remove the center console trim to access the shift lever assembly
3. Release the locking tab and unplug the original 8-pin connector
4. Transfer terminals to the new housing or splice in the pre-wired variant
5. Reinstall the console and verify shift position sensor and shift lock function
6. Clear fault codes with Toyota Techstream if required
