Hey folks,

Since I am owing my car the reverse lockout does not work at all. meaning that I could shift into reverse at any speed what drives me nuts slowly.
I already removed the solenoid, disassembled and cleaned it w/o change. Also interesting: When I disconnect it it locks me out of reverse. SO it is no problem related to the solenoid itselve as it looks like. Rather something with the ECU maybe?
I have HP tuner but I haven´t found any option to adjust maybe the trigger speed of it or so.
Can somebody help me by telling me how to check the ECU functionailty respectively how to change it?
I know the ECU triggers the ground, so it appears to be triggered all the time. That means it can´t be a broken cable or so, only a ECU or programming thing, right?

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PITA

Thanks,bro. Good link. If nobody else is coming up with another solution I think I'll have to do it that way.

Again,thanks for the advise.

Is the computer 100% stock? i.e. never been "tuned"?

I've looked through the transmission settings in HP Tuners and the only thing I see is "reverse lockout solenoid type". The options are "Rev enable", "None and "Rev inhibit".

Not sure what happens when you set it to none.

I was hoping to see something that related to speeds that the solenoid was enabled/disabled, but no such luck.

The car had already a tune when I got it. I guess I'll have to update my hp tuner soft since I only saw the CAGS functions in the tranny folder. Or is this hidden somewhere else?

Check the current going to the solenoid. In first gear, then ib reverse and see what it says.

Make sure you're in "advanced" user mode, it will hide a lot of stuff if you aren't
