Shift Position Indicator

DESCRIPTION
The shift position indicator is located in the instrument cluster. It indicates the position of the manual valve lever by illuminating an LED located under the P, R, N, D, 3, or L (or Autostick) gear symbol.

OPERATION
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 Body Control Module (BCM) and the instrument cluster.
Refer to Instrument Panel Gauges and Warning Indicators for repair procedures.
