P07E5 — Unable to Engage Drive

TCM commands engagement of Drive but the input/output speed relationship does not match — friction element does not lock up, or the shift solenoid pattern for Drive cannot be commanded. Vehicle remains stuck in Park or Neutral.

General code reference. Confirm the definition and diagnostic procedure for your vehicle's year, model and engine. A stored code alone does not identify a failed part.

Affected components
