P07EATransmission Range Control A Circuit Low
- 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. P07EA is the electrical low check: one sensor reads below 0.6 V for 2.4 s – a signal wire shorted to ground or a missing sensor supply. Mitsubishi defines no fail-safe reaction. If all bits drop out at once, P07EF follows and the transmission goes to neutral.
- What you may notice
- Electric shift or check engine warning
- Usually no noticeable restriction
- Further sensor faults lead to P07EC/P07ED
- Likely causes
- LikelySelector sensor wire shorted to ground (chafed harness, connector)
- PossibleSensor supply in the selector open
- PossibleSelector or module faulty
- Repair
- Medium · Usually a job for a workshop.Typical cost: €150 – €900
