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.

Likely causes

Signal wire shorted to 5 V or 12 V supply
Selector faulty internally
Shift module

Symptoms

  • Electric shift or check engine warning
  • Usually no noticeable restriction
  • Further sensor faults lead to P07EC/P07ED
