Is there continuity?

YES

The RVS LCK wire is OK. Go to step 4.

Repair an open in the RVS LCK wire between the reverse lockout solenoid and the PCM.

Reverse lockout solenoid check
-1. Do the reverse lockout solenoid test .

Is the reverse lockout solenoid OK?

YES

Check for loose terminals or poor connections between the PCM and the reverse lockout solenoid. If necessary, update the PCM if it does not have the latest software , or substitute a known-good PCM , and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with the updated PCM, troubleshooting is complete. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good PCM, replace the original PCM .

NO

Repair or replace the reverse lockout solenoid .
