On the MAX aft overhead panel, REVERSER LIMITED lights illuminated in flight indicate?

• A. No fault, normal operation.
• B. A fault in the thrust reverser system is limiting reverse thrust.
• C. The Start Valve Open signal is active.
• D. The EEC is failed.

Answer: (B)

A fault in the thrust reverser system is present that reduces or limits the available reverse thrust. When the REVERSER LIMITED light comes on, it signals degraded reverser capability, meaning you cannot rely on full reverse thrust after landing and the system has detected a condition that prevents normal reverser operation. This is not about a Start Valve Open signal or an EEC failure, and it isn’t simply normal operation with no fault. The indication is specifically tied to reverser hardware/control logic, prompting maintenance intervention and affecting post-landing thrust management.
