A/T Gear Position Indicator (conrd)
- How the Circuit Works
With the ignition switch in ON (ll) or START (lll),
voltage is applied to the A,/T gear position indicator.
The A,/T gear position switch provides a ground for
each position. As an input is grounded, its indicator
light comes on. lf you select R, for example, ground
will be provided to the input of the A,/T gear position
indicato( and the R indicator will come on.
With the headlight switch in PARK or HEAD, voltage
is applied to the RED/BLK wire terminal. This
changes the indicator panel illumination from fixed
to controlled by the dash lights dimmer input
through the RED wire.
When the powertrain (all except '96-'98 CVT) or
transmission ('96198 CVT) control module (PCM or
TCM) detects an abnormality in the automatic
transmission control system, or when you request
diagnostic trouble codes through the service check
connector, the PCM or TCM will make the D4 (D for
CVT) indicator light blink.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 14,
Automatic Transmission) for specific tests or
troubleshooting procedures.
