2011 FORD KUGA gear selector

Output signals
Hard wired
• Item 8: PCM– Start inhibitor. Supplies the PCM with a signalthat indicates whether the engine can be
started or not.
• Item 9: Selector lever module (select-shift module)
– Controls the solenoid switch in the selectorlever unit.
• Position 10: PWM solenoid valve – shift pressure (SLS)
– Matches the line pressure to a shift pressureand is activated for certain gears.
• Position 11: PWM solenoid valve – main line pressure (SLT)
– Adjusts the linear line pressure for gearchanges without jolts.
• Position 12: PWM- solenoid valve – TCC (SLU) – Matches the line pressure to a torqueconverter lock-up pressure. Is also used for
certain gearshifts.
• Items 13 - 17: Shift solenoids S1 – S5 – The TCM checks which gear is engaged asthe solenoids become active in different
patterns.
Via the LIN data bus
• Item 7: Selector lever module (select-shift module)
– The TCM transmits a signal to the selectorlever module which activates the LED (light
emitting diode) in the selector mechanism
assembly according to the selector lever
position. Via the CAN data bus
• Item 2: GEM
– The selector lever module transmits a signalvia the TCM, which indicates that the selector
lever is locked in position P. The GEM uses
this information to control the ignition switch
key inhibit function.
– The TCM transmits a signal via the GEM to activate the back-up lamps.
• Item 3: Instrument Cluster – Current selector lever position. Used toindicate the selector lever position in the
instrument cluster.
– Check the warning lamps via the GEM. In the event of a fault, the general warning lamp
lights.
– Text messages in the instrument cluster via the GEM. The driver receives various
malfunction messages from the TCM.
– The TCM transmits signals on the CAN data bus to the PCM so that the MIL lights up in
the event of emissions-related faults.
• Item 4: PCM – Transmission fluid temperature, used tocompensate for increased loads at low fluid
temperatures.
– Gear selected, used by the engine so that it can compensate for different loads.
– Torque converter lockup, used by the engine so that it can compensate for different loads.
– Next gear planned by the TCM, used by the engine to compensate for different loads.
– Requirement for a reduced engine torque during gear shifts, the engine reduces the
engine torque during gear shifts.
– Torque limiting requirement, the engine limits the engine torque according to the gear
engaged.
• Item 5: ABS module – Current gear, used to transmit a signal, notfor shift control.
– Vehicle speed, used as reserve.

well as vehicle speed, driving comfort is improved
by linear actuation of the TCC.
Selector lever with integrated select-shift
switch module
E112332
The selector lever unit is located in the central
console. It is mechanically connected to the
transmission by a selector cable which moves the
gear selector shaft in the TR sensor.
The following components are integrated in the
selector lever assembly:
• Select-shift switch module
• Selector lever lock solenoid.
• Switch contact for selector lever position 'P'
• LED for the selector lever position display
The selector lever has the following positions:
• P: Park position
• R: Reverse gear.
• N: Neutral position
• D: Automatically shift between all gears
• S: Sport and select-shift mode (manual gearchanging)
If the selector lever is not in the 'P' position when
the vehicle is exited, a signal is transmitted to the
instrument cluster via the switch contact for selector
lever position 'P'. When the driver door is opened,
a message to move the selector lever to the 'P'
position appears in the instrument cluster and the
warning buzzer sounds. The vehicle cannot be
electrically locked if the selector lever is not moved
to the 'P' position.

Overview of the select-shift switch module
E112331
The select-shift switch module is located on the
upper trim of the selector lever unit. The module
is supplied with power by the TCM.
It uses the LIN databus to interact with the TCM,
for instance to activate the selector lever position
display.
It allows the automatic transmission gears to be
changed up and down manually via the signals of
the Hall sensors.
The select-shift switch module detects the selector
lever position 'P' and 'S' via the integrated selector
lever position sensors (Hall sensors).
A cable leading from the TCM passes directly to
the select-shift switch module and is used to control
the solenoid of the selector lever lock. The
switching solenoid receives its voltage supply
directly from the module.
In the event of a fault, a signal is transmitted to the
TCM where all DTCs are stored.

The TR sensor
E125819
The TR sensor and the TCM form one unit. This
unit is located at the top of the transmission casing,
on the gear linkage.
Function
The TR sensor has three separate functions:
• Transmit a signal to the TCM about the selectedtransmission range.
• To transmit the signal to switch on the reversing lamps to the GEM when the selector lever is in
the 'R' position.
• To transmit the start enable signal to the PCM when the selector lever is in the 'P' or 'N'
position.
The TR sensor contains a permanent magnet and
a linear Hall detector. It produces a signal voltage
between 0 and 5 V. This signal voltage
corresponds to the selector lever position currently
chosen.
Voltage values for the different gears:
• P approximately 0.65 V
• R approximately 1.64 V
• N approximately 2.12 V
• D approximately 2.49 V
Consequences of signal failure
If the TR sensor fails, the MIL is activated and the
vehicle can be driven in emergency mode 4. The
vehicle can no longer be started for safety reasons
after the ignition is switched off because the TCM
does not detect the current transmission range.
If a shift solenoid valve fails, the MIL is activated
and the vehicle can be driven in the appropriate
emergency mode.

External Controls – Overview
Transmission range selector
E112313
The transmission range selector is located on the
center console and is mechanically connected to
the transmission by a cable for operation of the
gear selector shaft and the TR (transmission range)
sensor.
As well as the positions P/R/N/D, the transmission
range selector provides a position for the sport and
select-shift mode (S). The manual gear position
can be selected at any time while driving. The gear
selected is locked until the driver selects another
gear.
The engine can only be started in positions P or
N.
The selector cable adjustment mechanism is at the
transmission end of the selector cable.
NOTE:Details of the exact procedure and
specifications can be found in the current service
literature.
