CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The Driver Select Shift System allows the driver to select one of two shift patterns, NORMAL or PERFORMANCE. Pressing the appropriate console button changes the shift pattern.

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) provides input voltage to the Driver Select Shift Switch on circuit 553. The PCM grounds the switch on circuit 808.

The PERFORMANCE shift pattern has the following characteristics:

^ Upshifts occur at a higher engine speed.

^ Downshifts Occur at a lower percentage throttle position.

^ Engine torque output is increased in 2nd and 3rd gear.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS

^ Inspect the I/P Fuse Block, fuse 5.

^ Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the PCM. Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the transmission 20-way connector. Look for the following conditions:

- A bent terminal

- A backed out terminal

- A damaged terminal

- Poor terminal tension

- A chafed wire

- A broken wire inside the insulation

^ Inspect the driver Select Shift Switch connector and the associated wiring.

^ Verify that any aftermarket electronic equipment is properly installed. Improperly installed aftermarket electronic equipment may modify the integrity of other systems.
