P07F2 code meaning
Transmission Range Control Module Communication Circuit
What P07F2 means
The transmission range control module is the separate shift-by-wire control unit that reads the selector and drives the range actuator. P07F2 reports a fault in its communication. Mitsubishi's 2022 CVT with electric shift sets it when the module's start-up CAN check fails and blames the module itself; it switches to neutral only if the CVT or the whole system is affected too, and one of its two entries carries no MIL. GM (U18AA, U2409) and Ford (U101F, without MIL) report the same function under their own U codes.

Symptoms of P07F2
- Shift warning
- Usually no restriction; neutral if the transmission is affected too
- U codes in other modules possible
Common causes of P07F2
- Most likelyShift-by-wire module faulty or its software
- PossibleCommunication wire or connector
- Less likelyWeak battery during start-up
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of P07F2 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. |
| F2 | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note P07F2 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 P07F2
What does P07F2 mean?
P07F2 means "Transmission Range Control Module Communication Circuit". The transmission range control module is the separate shift-by-wire control unit that reads the selector and drives the range actuator. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with P07F2?
Drive gently and only to a workshop. With P07F2 the car can go into limp mode (reduced power) to protect itself.
Will P07F2 fail an emissions test?
P07F2 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 P07F2 to fix?
Difficulty: hard. A typical repair takes 0.5 to 3 hours of work. This is a job for a workshop.
Will P07F2 clear itself after the repair?
Clear the code with a scanner after the repair. If the fault is fixed, it does not come back.
