The car fails to engage reverse intermittently. Until after some careful patience of moving the gear lever up to park,drive, neutral and then to reverse,which it'll eventually engage.
Although, on diagnosing the car, I found out 12 data trouble codes including pending ones too.
Here're the codes as diagnosed:-
(1) PO-300
(2) PO-301
(3) PO-305
(4) PO-306
(5) PO-100
(6) PO-110
(7) PO-135
(8) PO-141
(9) PO-500
(10) PO-705 & 1705 RESPECTIVELY
(11)PO-135 AND
(12) PO 141.
So pls. What could have been the possible course for this Auto Transmission Reverse failure and how do l effect repairs on the gear for the gear to return to normal selection processes.
Thanks in anticipation of your report/response.

often this is a cable or selector quadrant problem, ensure that the outer cable is not moving when you select gears, check this first.

Thanks for your prompt reply.
Pls. I don't know how to locate the cable you're talking about. Kindly help me to describe properly where and how I'll see it & refix it up properly myself.
Thanks, I sincerely appreciate

I would check the transmission side of the cable, when the cable wears it can allow the out casing to move without actually moving the transmission lever.
