Solenoid-Reverse Lockout

SOLENOID-REVERSE LOCKOUT

DESCRIPTION
The reverse lockout solenoid prevents shifting into reverse when the vehicle speed is greater than 3 mph. Solenoid is threaded into the left side of the transmission.

OPERATION
When vehicle speed is less than 5 mph, the PCM provides a ground for the solenoid (energized) and allows shifting. When vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph, the solenoid is deactivated and prevents the transmission from being shifted into reverse.
