Shift Position Indicator

The shifter position indicator is located in the instrument cluster. The shifter position indicator outlines with a box the gear position the transaxle manual valve lever is in.
The transmission range sensor (located on the valve body) sends a signal to the TCM on the position of the transaxle manual valve lever. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) receives the switch signal and processes the data. The TCM sends the Shift Lever Position (SLP) information to the BCM via the CCD bus. The BCM then outlines the appropriate shifter position indicator in the instrument cluster.
To replace the shifter position indicator, refer to Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators.
