SHIFT POSITION INDICATOR : System Description

Shift position is displayed in the information display LCD in the combination meter.

MANUAL MODE

When Operated with A/T Shift Selector
- Unified meter and A/C amp. inputs manual mode signal and manual mode shift-up/down signal from A/T shift selector (manual mode switch), and transmits the signals to TCM with CAN communication line.
- TCM processes manual mode signal and manual mode shift-up/down signal, and transmits manual mode indicator signal and shift position signal to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication line.
- Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits manual mode indicator signal and shift position signal to combination meter with the communication line.
- Combination meter indicates A/T gear position and manual mode indicator, when receiving manual mode indicator signal and shift position signal.

When Operated with Paddle Shifter
- Unified meter and A/C amp. inputs manual mode signal from A/T shift selector (manual mode switch) or the paddle shifter-up/down signal from the paddle shifter, and transmits the signals to TCM with CAN communication line.
- TCM processes manual mode signal and paddle shifter-up/down signal, and transmits manual mode indicator signal and shift position signal to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication line.
- Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits manual mode indicator signal and shift position signal to combination meter with the communication line.
- Combination meter indicates A/T gear position and manual mode indicator, when receiving manual mode indicator signal and shift position signal.

Shift Refusal Warning and Alarm
- TCM sends a manual mode shift refusal signal to the unified meter and A/C amp. via the CAN communication line when shift-up and shift-down can not be operated in manual mode.
- The unified meter and A/C amp. receives a manual mode shift refusal signal from the CAN communication line and transmits the signal to the combination meter via the communication line.
- The combination meter blinks the shift position indicator and sounds the alarm buzzer according to a manual mode shift refusal signal received via the communication line.

NOT MANUAL MODE
- Unified meter and A/C amp. inputs not manual mode signal from A/T shift selector (manual mode switch), and transmits the signals to TCM with CAN communication line.
- TCM transmits shift position signal to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication line.
- Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits shift position signal to combination meter with the communication line.
- Combination meter indicates shift position when receiving shift position signal.
