These can help you determine the cause of your check engine light. If the P0736 code has been stored, this article will inform you about the code&rsquo;s definition and common causes and symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does the P0736 Code Mean?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Diagnostic trouble code P0736 is defined as Reverse Incorrect Gear Ratio. This code can trigger when the transmission has a problem shifting into the reverse gear. It can also trigger when a transmission-related problem occurs while driving in reverse. The P0736 code is particular to automatic transmission vehicles because shifting into reverse relies on using mechanical components like the low-reverse clutch and shift solenoids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The powertrain control module (PCM) or the transmission control module (TCM) analyzes data from the transmission speed sensors to determine the gear ratio and the amount of slippage. The P0736 code is triggered when the TCM or PCM perceives a problem with reverse gear based on that data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/automatic-transmission-gear-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"automatic transmission gear\" class=\"wp-image-71952\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/automatic-transmission-gear-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/automatic-transmission-gear-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/automatic-transmission-gear-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/automatic-transmission-gear-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/automatic-transmission-gear-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/automatic-transmission-gear-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/automatic-transmission-gear.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>The P0736 code can trigger when the transmission has a problem shifting into the reverse gear.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Note: <\/strong>The definition of the P0736 code can be different depending on the vehicle manufacturer.

Diagnosing the cause of this code isn&rsquo;t straightforward because vehicle designs and specifications vary. While this code is known to be commonly caused by specific issues, you should still conduct a proper inspection before reaching a conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to troubleshooting any trouble code, always remember that procedures vary depending on vehicle specifications. If you aren&rsquo;t familiar with the troubleshooting process, ask a trained mechanic to do the job for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Fix the P0736 Code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fixing the issues that trigger the P0736 code can be quite difficult if you don&rsquo;t have the right tools and knowledge because this code involves parts that are difficult to access. It might be more convenient to simply bring your vehicle to your local mechanic for repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you think you have the right knowledge and tools, then follow the appropriate steps and protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that there isn&rsquo;t a universal solution that can fix a trouble code in all vehicle models. Even mechanics sometimes rely on knowledge banks and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/best-online-resources-to-help-you-learn-how-to-fix-cars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"online resources\">online resources<\/a> before making repairs.
