P07EF: Transmission Range Multi-Function Select Circuit Low

'Transmission Range Multi-Function Select' is the multi-bit code of the shift-by-wire selector position: each position produces a fixed pattern of sensor states, and the module checks the pattern for logic errors. Mitsubishi's 2022 CVT with electric shift uses eight sensors (R: 1–2 on, N toward R: 1–5, home: all, N toward D: 4–8, D/M: 7–8). P07EF is the low state of the whole pattern: all eight bits report off, which is no valid code – typically a disconnected selector plug or a missing common supply or ground. Mitsubishi detects it already at standstill after about 10 s with the ignition on, puts the drive in neutral and lights the MIL.

Symptoms

• Vehicle in neutral, no range selectable
• MIL and shift warning
• Fault appears right after switching the ignition on

Most likely causes

• Selector plug disconnected or its supply or ground open
• Selector sensor board faulty
• Electric shift module

What to check, in order

Start with the simplest. You can tick off each step.

1. Check the fluid level and condition
2. With the connector unplugged, check whether the signal wire is making contact with ground.
3. Read the input and output speed in live data
4. Check the connector and wiring
5. Check for other related engine codes
6. Consult the manufacturer's procedure for the transmission

Good to know

• Repair difficulty: medium
• It can trigger limp mode.

What each character of P07EF means

• P: Powertrain: engine and transmission
• 0: Generic code: same on every make
• 7: Transmission
• EF: Specific fault in that system

Frequently asked questions

Can I keep driving with code P07EF?

Drive gently to a repair shop. If it slips, you hear clunks, or it loses its gears, do not keep driving.

What causes code P07EF?

The most common causes are: selector plug disconnected or its supply or ground open; selector sensor board faulty; electric shift module.
