Thanks for the SN, have a EC motor

There is a In-Gear switch on the shift plate. If the PCM thinks the drive is in neutral it will sound the alarm saying reduce rpm.

The pic is for an Alpha drive so it has 2 switches, your Bravo would have only the one. Disconnect the switch and see if the alarm stays OFF. If it does then it needs adjusted
