The reverse switch is based off of resistance...When in reverse there's resistance measured through the switch.

Reverse and neutral switches are just spring-loaded on-off devices. There is a detent/cutout on a shaft or lever in the switch location and the sensor is either in the detent or it's not and this indicates whether the trans is in neutral/reverse or its not
