- The table shows the solenoid valves -N88-, -N89- and -N90- (displays 1 to 3) as activated in each selector lever position. These solenoid valves control the shift valves for the relevant gears.
- The solenoid valve -N91- activates the lock-up clutch modulation valve and is not covered here.
- The solenoid valves -N92- and -N94- are supplementary valves which affect gear shifts. These valves are only controlled during gear shifts and are displayed in fields 5 and 6. They can show "0" or "1" depending on the driving situation.
- At the start of a test drive the selector lever can be in position "1". During the drive it can be shifted progressively up to position "D".
- The mechanical gear "M" is not always engaged. The control module can engage this gear dependent upon the driving situation. The lock-up clutch can be checked in display group number 005.
