I think I have a similiar problem... The DIC will say shift to reverse when I am clearly in reverse. Just out of curiousity, I looked to see if the backup lights were on and they weren't. So my guess is that it is the reverse sensing switch. Anybody else have a similiar problem or know of a TSB on it?

well for my car the reverse lights really did come on and it did go in reverse. it was really only that the computer onboard didn't know it was in reverse.
i had the switch replace cost me 450 from a shady dealership.
hope that helps.

If you go back to neutral a few seconds, then back to reverse, do they come on?
Your problem may be a sign of impending DBS.
