    2018 Tacoma TRD off-road
    So I'm new to the forum.
    My 2018 TRD off-road is being somewhat difficult.
    When going into reverse the automatic transmission has about a 3-second delay and then hits hard. Transmission shifts fine going from park to drive or neutral to drive and shifts perfectly. Everything is working going from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive high and low. The shifting indicator light on the dash and the gear shift does not light up going into reverse, but does work for park, neutral and drive, also the backup camera and reverse lights do not work (I'm assuming those are all related). With all this going on it shows no transmission codes .
    If anyone has had something like this going on with their truck, I could sure use the advice.

    Check the BKUP LP No3 fuse (7.5A) in the interior fuse box, if that's good you likely have a bad transmission range switch or broken/corroded wire going to the switch.
    Power comes into the switch on Pin 2 (Yellow), the reverse signal is Pin 1 (Red) at the range switch.
