Lost reverse M6

[actireman]

Unbagged my car yesterday and went for a ride. Everything was fine until I got home. I did a burnout down my driveway (like I always do), and went to back up and the shifter would not go past 5th and 6th. The only way I could get reverse was to push real hard to get it. Any ideas? I checked fuses for related items. I couldn't find one that said reverse lock out.

Reverse Inhibit Description and Operation
The reverse inhibit solenoid is a safety feature which prevents an inadvertent shift into reverse at speeds above 5 km/h (3 mph). The system consist of the following components:

• The powertrain control module (PCM).
• The reverse inhibit solenoid.

With the ignition ON, battery voltage is supplied directly to the reverse inhibit solenoid. At forward speeds above 5 km/h (3 mph) the PCM opens the control circuit of the reverse inhibit solenoid. This de-energizes the solenoid and mechanically blocks the shift lever from going into the REVERSE position.

It's the locout solenoid not getting voltage for sure. I am not sure which circuit powers it though. both the skip shift and the lockout soleniod look about he same down on the tranny.

make sure the connector is plugged in all the way.
