HI there,

The code means reverse engagement error conditions.

Basically it's possible there is an issue with the transmission range sensor causing the problem, however there should be a code stored in the transmission control module telling the actual issue. Also, it's possible there is a mechanical issue inside the transmission causing the loss of the reverse gear.
