What P07EB means
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. P07EB is the electrical high check: one sensor reads above 4.5 V for 2.4 s, a signal wire shorted to the supply. Mitsubishi uses the same threshold as for the open circuit P07E8 and separates the two only in its list of causes; there is no fail-safe reaction.
P07EB at a glance
- Check engine lightYes, usually on
- Emissions testNot an emissions code
- Limp modeNot expected
- Repair difficultyMedium
- Typical labor0.5 to 2.5 hours
- Clears after repairWhen cleared with a scanner
Symptoms of P07EB
- Electric shift or check engine warning
- Usually no noticeable restriction
- Further sensor faults lead to P07EC/P07ED
Common causes of P07EB
- Most likelySignal wire shorted to 5 V or 12 V supply
- PossibleSelector faulty internally
- Less likelyShift module
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of P07EB means
| P | Powertrain system: engine, fuel system, ignition, emissions and transmission. |
| 0 | Generic code: it means the same on every make (SAE standard). |
| 7 | Area: transmission. |
| EB | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note P07EB and any other codes stored with it: several codes together often point to one cause.
- Check for loose connectors and damaged wiring around the parts the code names.
- Check open recalls for your car: some faults are fixed for free by the dealer. Enter your VIN.
- Clear the code only after the repair. If it comes back, the fault is still there.
Buying a used car? Scan it for stored codes before you pay. A recently cleared memory can hide a problem.
Questions about P07EB
What does P07EB mean?
P07EB means "Transmission Range Control A Circuit High". 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. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with P07EB?
Usually yes, for a short time, if the check engine light is steady and the car drives normally. If the light flashes or the car runs badly, stop and have it checked.
Will P07EB fail an emissions test?
P07EB is not an emissions code, so on its own it usually does not fail an emissions test. Other stored codes or a lit check engine light still can.
How hard is P07EB to fix?
Difficulty: medium. A typical repair takes 0.5 to 2.5 hours of work. This is a job for a workshop.
Will P07EB clear itself after the repair?
Clear the code with a scanner after the repair. If the fault is fixed, it does not come back.
