Shift Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation
Fig.13 Autostick Odometer/Transmission Range Indicator:
TRANSMISSION RANGE INDICATOR
The Transmission Range indicator (Fig. 13) is located in the instrument cluster. It indicates the position of the manual valve lever by illuminating an LED around the P, R, N, D, 1, 2, 3, 4th gear symbol.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) sends a signal to the Transmission Control Module (TCM) regarding the position of the manual valve lever. The TCM converts this signal into a Shift Lever Position (SLP) and sends the information to the BCM (Body Control Module) and the instrument cluster.
When in the Autostick mode, a box around the gear position will be displayed to inform the driver which transmission gear is currently engaged.
TRANSMISSION RANGE INDICATOR ILLUMINATION
The transmission range indicator has no serviceable bulb. If the lamp does not function properly, the transmission range indicator (shifter bezel) must be replaced.
