Range Selection
The selector lever transmits operator demand to the transmission and TCM by means of a cable and Dual-Linear
Switch (DLS).
The lever operates the transmission assemb ly selector shaft, only for P R N D , by means of a cable. Movement of the
lever across the gate to 4, 3 and 2 positions disengages th e cable from the selector lever and engages the DLS which
controls gear selection electronically.
Gear selector module:
Provides illumination of the decal relevant to the gear sele cted. This information is provided by CAN from the TCM. Illuminates the security system Active LED on the gear selector surround, in response to an output from the BPM.
