Automatic Transaxle

Reverse Block Above Eight MPH
I/
Reverse gear will not engage if the TCM senses
vehicle speed above eight mph. This is to prevent
damage that could occur if a driver accidentally
puts the gear selector in
“R”
while rolling in any
forward gear range. If the output speed sensor de-
tects that the output shaft is spinning at a speed
equal to or greater than eight mph, the TCM activates
reverse block to protect the transaxle. The function

R
is inoperable in “limp-in” mode. To accomplish or
initiate reverse block, the TCM energizes the
2-4/LR
solenoid. The solenoid prevents line pressure from
applying the low/reverse clutch. Without a holding
element, the planetary
gearset
in this range will
provide no output. It must have both an input and
a holding element to provide output. In this condition,
the transaxle is effectively in Neutral.
