If Code 89 appears on the instrument cluster of a Chevrolet Cruze, it indicates that the vehicle needs assistance: this is a warning of a generic fault, although it is generally associated with malfunctions in the mechatronics of the gearbox. The mechatronics is an electronic component that controls the automatic gearbox and manages functions such as gear shifting and torque management.

Therefore, this is a problem that should not be ignored, as it indicates a serious issue with the gearbox; you must go to a garage immediately, where a qualified technician can perform an accurate diagnosis and then carry out the repair. Other issues could be low gearbox oil pressure or faulty sensors or wiring.
