Reverse Converter Control

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Montego and 2006 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the shift 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.
