Code result

P07E4

Unable to Engage Park

High severity

What it means

The TCM commands the park pawl to engage but the position sensors do not confirm engagement — typical for shift-by-wire systems where the park actuator (motor or solenoid driving the pawl) is faulty, the cable is broken, or the pawl is jammed against a tooth and cannot drop in.

Is it safe to drive?

No — stop driving

This code points to a problem that can cause damage or affect safety. Avoid driving and have the vehicle diagnosed promptly.

    high

    One of the most commonly reported causes for this code — check this first.

  • Failed park actuator motor
