KICKDOWN DETERMINATION SWITCH (A/T VEHICLES ONLY) [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5]
id0170q1002000
Purpose of adoption
• A kickdown determination switch has been adopted which fully opens the throttle when the driver fully depresses the accelerator pedal intentionally.
Service point
• The kickdown determination switch is a part which generates resistance mechanically rather than by outputting an electric signal (ON/OFF).
Common inquiry
• There is a load step prior to a full-stroke depression of the accelerator pedal (before kickdown stroke). If there is a claim from a user such as the accelerator pedal catching or some malfunction from this load step, explain the content of the repair order form and give the user appropriate advice.
Other
• Not applicable
