P07E8Transmission Range Control A Circuit/Open
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- How the car detects it
- Despite its name, 'Transmission Range Control A' is not the range actuator motor – that has its own codes, P272A and P272B – but the sensor circuits of an electric shift-by-wire selector. The only documented user is Mitsubishi's 2022 service manual for a CVT with electric shift (very likely the 2022–23 Outlander): the lever carries eight position sensors whose on/off pattern encodes R, N, home, D and M. P07E8 is the open-circuit check of these sensor lines: if one sensor input is pulled above 4.5 V for 2.4 s with the ignition on, the code sets. Mitsubishi lists it with the MIL but without a fail-safe reaction, because the remaining sensors still identify the position. Low and high are P07EA/P07EB. GM and Ford use their own codes for their selectors.
