Shift Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation

PURPOSE
The shift indicator light assists the driver by indicating the "general need" to shift into the next higher gear. This improves fuel economy and reduces the probability of operating the vehicle in the wrong gear.

LOCATION
The lamp (gearshift lever) is located in the instrument panel.

OPERATION
The shift indicator lamp is controlled by the fuel injection ECU on vehicles equipped with manual transmissions only.

The fuel injection ECU sends current to the lamp when upshifting is indicated.
