GEAR POSITION INDICATION [CW6A-EL]
id0517l1361800
Purpose/Function
• The gear position indication is displayed during manual shift control and displays the gear number while driving.
Construction
• The gear position indication is built into the instrument cluster.
Operation
• The TCM sends a gear position indication display/flash request signal to the instrument cluster based on the signal from the M position switch via the CAN.
• If the shift down operation is inhibited during manual shift control, the TCM flashes the gear position indication 2 times. As a result, the driver is notified that the shift down operation has been canceled.
• If the ATF temperature is 132 °C {270 °F} or more during manual shift control, the TCM switches to automatic shift control to reduce the transaxle load. At this time, the gear position indication is not displayed. When the ATF temperature is 122 °C {252 °F} or less for a specified time, the gear position indication is displayed again and manual shift control is enabled.
