Symptom Troubleshooting (cont’d)
REVERSE LOCKOUT SOLENOID 2P CONNECTOR
RVS (GRN/BLK)
NOTE: When checking if the transmission will shift to reverse while the wheels are being driven forward,
raise the vehicle on a lift, make sure it is securely
supported, and allow the front wheels to rotate freely.
Do not release the clutch pedal if you can select reverse gear while the wheels are driven forward.
When the vehicle is on a lift, and you make the wheels rotate, turn off the VSA system by the VSA
OFF switch.
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
2. Try to shift the transmission into reverse.
Go to step 4.
Go to step 3.
3. Do the reverse lockout solenoid test (see page 13-77).
Check the change lever assembly (see page
13-105), if necessary inspect the internal
transmission.
Repair or replace the reverse lockout solenoid
(see page 13-77).
4. Start the engine, and try to shift the transmission into reverse.
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this
time.
Go to step 5. 5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
6. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
7. Disconnect ECM connector A (44P).
8. Disconnect the r
everse lockout solenoid 2P
connector.
9. Check for continuity between the reverse lockout solenoid 2P connector terminal No. 1 and body
ground.
Repair short to body ground in the wire
between the reverse lockout solenoid and the
ECM.
Check for loose terminals or poor connections
at the ECM. If necessary, update the ECM if it does
not have the latest software (see page 11-227), or
substitute a known-good ECM (see page 11-7), then
recheck. If the symptom goes away with a known-
good ECM, replace the original ECM (see page
11-228).

1. Remove the reverse lockout solenoid (see page13-77).
2. Connect battery positive terminal to the r everse
lockout solenoid 2P connector No. 2 terminal, and
connect the battery negative terminal to the No. 1
terminal.
3. Make sure the reverse lockout solenoid works. If the reverse lockout solenoid does not work, replace
it. 1. Do the battery removal procedure (see page 22-69).
2. Remove the air cleaner assembly (see page 11-345).
3. Remove the battery base (see step 4 on page 13-84).
4. Disconnect the output shaft (countershaft) speed
sensor connector, the back-up light switch
connector, and the r everse lockout solenoid
connector (see step 6 on page 13-84).
5. Carefully remove the shift cables and the cable bracket together to avoid bending the cables (see
step 7 on page 13-85).
6. Remove the reverse lockout solenoid (A).

7. Remove the roller (A), the select lock return spring
(C), and select lock cam B.
8. Install the components of the r everse lockout
solenoid in the reverse order of removal.
9. Clean any dirt and oil from the mating surface of the reverse lockout solenoid and the change lever
assembly.
10. Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08718-0001 evenly to the change lever assembly mating surface of the
reverse lockout solenoid. Install the com ponent
within 5 minutes of applying the liquid gasket.
NOTE: If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be installed within 4 minutes.
If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and
residue, then reapply new liquid gasket. 11. Install the reverse lockout solenoid (A).
12. Install the cable bracket and the shift cables (see
step 37 on page 13-97).
13. Connect the r everse lockout solenoid connector,
the back-up light switch connector, and the output
shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector (see
step 39 on page 13-97).
14. Install the battery base (see step 41 on page 13-98).
15. Install the air cleaner assembly (see page 11-345).
16. Do the battery installation procedure (see page 22-69).
