Description:

  • The fault code indicates a circuit malfunction or open circuit in the gear shift reverse actuator. The gear shift reverse actuator is responsible for controlling the reverse shifting of gears in the transmission. A circuit/open issue can disrupt the operation of the actuator, leading to difficulties in engaging the reverse gear and potential drivability problems.

Possible Symptoms:

  • Difficulty engaging the reverse gear

  • Inability to shift into reverse gear

  • Illumination of the Check Engine Light

  • Impaired drivability and reduced vehicle performance

  • Transmission shifting issues, such as harsh or delayed shifts in the reverse direction

Possible Causes:

  • Faulty or malfunctioning gear shift reverse actuator

  • Open or damaged wiring in the gear shift reverse actuator circuit

  • Poor electrical connections or loose connectors in the circuit

  • Faulty transmission control module (TCM)

  • Mechanical issues with the gear shift mechanism

Related Parts:

  • Gear Shift Position Sensor: Gear Shift Position Sensor communicates the position of the gear to the car computer. This car's sensor has a problem which may cause difficulty in shifting gears

Possible Solutions:

  • Inspect and test the gear shift reverse actuator for proper operation, and replace if necessary

  • Check the wiring harness and connectors in the gear shift reverse actuator circuit for any signs of damage, and repair or replace as needed

  • Ensure proper electrical connections are made and secure any loose connectors in the circuit

  • Test the transmission control module (TCM) for any faults and replace if required

  • If mechanical issues are suspected, inspect and repair the gear shift mechanism as necessary
