What it means

P077F means Reverse 2 Incorrect Ratio.

Check these first

  • A slipping reverse clutch pack causing an incorrect ratio
  • Dirty or low transmission fluid
  • A stuck reverse solenoid or valve
  • A failed speed sensor feeding a false ratio
  • Internal transmission wear in the reverse gear set

What to do next

  1. Read commanded and actual gear ratio in reverse on a scan tool
  2. Check transmission fluid level and condition
  3. Compare input and output speed sensor readings for a false ratio
  4. Test the reverse solenoid circuit for opens and shorts
  5. Overhaul the transmission if the ratio stays wrong with good sensors
  6. Clear the code and retest
