This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that the car's computer is having trouble understanding if the car is in 'park' because two parts that should agree on the car's position don't match up.
The vehicle's transmission control module (TCM) is detecting a mismatch between the signals from two sensors or switches that determine if the transmission is in the 'park' position.
The P07BE code is triggered when the TCM detects a correlation error between the signals from the transmission park position sensor/switch A and B. These components are responsible for indicating the current gear position, and a discrepancy suggests a fault in one of the sensors, the wiring, or the TCM itself.
• Check Engine Light is on
• Vehicle may not start or may start in an incorrect gear
• Transmission may not shift properly
• Faulty transmission park position sensor/switch
• Wiring issues such as damaged wires or poor connections
• Faulty transmission control module (TCM)
TCM: Transmission Control Module
OBD-II: On-Board Diagnostics, Second Generation
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code and check for other related codes.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage or corrosion.
• Test the transmission park position sensors/switches for proper operation.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Replace faulty transmission park position sensor/switch.
• Reprogram or replace the transmission control module if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Basic hand tools

Moderate
• Ford F-150
• Chevrolet Silverado
• Toyota Camry
• Regularly inspect and maintain transmission components.
• Ensure proper electrical connections and avoid corrosion.
• Follow the vehicle's maintenance schedule.
Sensor Issue
• Do not ignore the Check Engine Light; have the vehicle inspected promptly.
• Avoid driving the vehicle if it does not shift properly.
• Consult a professional mechanic for accurate diagnosis and repair.
Repairs may be covered under the vehicle's powertrain warranty if applicable.
This code has been reported in various models, often due to electrical issues or sensor failures.
Moderate – While the vehicle may still be drivable, improper gear indication can lead to safety issues.
Driving with a malfunctioning transmission can be dangerous and may lead to further damage. Address the issue promptly.
• Vehicle in park position
• Engine running
The transmission park position sensors/switches are typically located on or near the transmission housing.
Q: Can I drive my car with a P07BE code?
A: It's not recommended to drive with this code as it can lead to unsafe driving conditions.
Q: How do I reset the Check Engine Light after fixing the issue?
A: You can use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code, or the light may turn off after several driving cycles if the issue is resolved.
