I had this code come up and the transmission control module thought I was always in reverse. I could still drive in auto, but could not use manual mode. The reversing camera was permanently on and the infotainment screen was unavailable.

To cut a long story short, after spending approx $500 to have the problem looked at, turns out that 2 blown reversing globes was the problem.

I hope this helps anyone else who might have the same problem.

I know this is after the fact. But a complete and full, Check of all globes and operating systems is good to do IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEM. Also, often a LOW CRANK voltage causes problems even though the vehicle starts, but codes appear. Battery disconnect, wait, reconnect, may eliminate the code or problem but the battery health should be checked.

$185 at Isuzu service centre to be told $2200 for a new loom and $800 to fit it. By the way, did you know your reversing lights are not working?

I took it to an auto electrician and after an hour and a half, put new globes in. They are not sure if it is fixed, but I am now carrying 2 spare globes ??

The NEW LOOM ANGLE is simply to get CASH from you. Usually, the dealer is not the best place to have them find faults. They are not diagnosticians. Often they HAVE NO IDEA. you would of course ASK them how they arrived at a NEW LOOM diagnosis to be able to fix it!!!! Using LOGIC, it CANNOT POSSIBLY BE a REPLACE LOOM ISSUE. If it wasn't burnt, then no need for a loom.

Trust in that dealer would INSTANTLY EVAPORATE with me!
Often small electrical faults manifest themselves as multiple sensor or system faults.
I know of a D40 Navara which has MULTIPLE SENSOR FAULTS & NO START. A MAJOR system problem. After 3 dealers and last one played around, they INADVERTENTLY regrounded a faulty earthing LUG. Suddenly it started and HAD NO CODES or SYSTEM FAULTS. All 5 sensors suddenly fixed themselves. Dealer mechanics had NO IDEA how they fixed it!
