The reverse gear switch is responsible for sending a signal to the engine control unit (ECU) when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. This signal is used by the ECU to adjust the engine's idle speed and fuel mixture, as well as disengaging the overdrive solenoid. If the reverse gear switch is faulty or damaged, it may not be able to send this signal properly, causing the engine to cut off.
2) Faulty Neutral Safety Switch:
The neutral safety switch, also known as the transmission control module, prevents the vehicle from starting in gear. However, if the neutral safety switch is faulty or damaged, it may not be able to detect when the vehicle is in neutral, causing the engine to cut off when shifted into reverse.
3) Low Transmission Fluid Level:
Low transmission fluid levels can cause the transmission to overheat, which can lead to a variety of problems, including engine cutoff in reverse.
4) Dirty or Clogged Transmission Filter:
A dirty or clogged transmission filter can restrict the flow of transmission fluid, which can cause the transmission to overheat and eventually lead to engine cutoff in reverse.
5) Faulty Transmission Solenoids:
Transmission solenoids are responsible for controlling the flow of transmission fluid. If a solenoid is faulty or damaged, it may not be able to properly control the flow of fluid, causing the engine to cut off in reverse.
6) Faulty Engine Control Unit (ECU):
The ECU is the brain of the vehicle and controls a variety of functions, including engine management. If the ECU is faulty or damaged, it may not be able to properly manage the engine's idle speed and fuel mixture, causing the engine to cut off in reverse.
