Reverse Inhibit Control Circuit Low
Voltage on the reverse inhibit control circuit is below the expected window. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
Affected components
- Reverse inhibit control
- Wiring harness
- Tcm
Common causes
- High likelihood: Wire shorted to ground
- Medium likelihood: Actuator internal short
- Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
Possible symptoms
- Check engine or transmission warning light on
- Harsh, delayed, or missing shifts
- Possible limp mode (locked in one gear)
- Slipping or shuddering during gear changes
Diagnostic notes
- The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
- Reduced-power or limp mode may occur
