Reverse Converter Control

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Milan, 2010 Lincoln MKZ, and 2010 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the selector lever is moved from N to R while the vehicle is moving forward and the transaxle shifts into REVERSE, the wheels will be locked, which is extremely dangerous. In order to avoid this, the TCM  inhibits the transaxle from shifting into REVERSE while moving forward.
