Rheem heat pump shuts off quickly

I wonder if I have a bad defrost circuit control board (again)?

My compressor and fan kick on for half a second before being shut down.

My contactor is receiving 24 volts for that half second, but then lose 24 volts and therefore the fan and compressor shut down, so I don't suspect it's the contactor (replaced that a couple years ago).

When my thermostat calls for cooling, I'm getting 24v going into the board at Y, but not leaving the board or at contactor.

I shudder to think that my reversing valve might be malfunctioning and causing me to "lose" 24v. Any thoughts on how to check the reversing valve for that?
