Overdrive Switch: Testing and Inspection
DESCRIPTION
The transmission control switch is a momentary contact switch. When the switch is pressed, a signal is sent to the powertrain control module to
allow automatic shifts from first through fourth gears or first through third gears only. The powertrain control module energizes the transmission
control indicator lamp (TCIL) when the switch is off. The TCIL indicates overdrive cancel mode activated (lamp ON) and EPC circuit shorted
(lamp flashing) or monitored sensor failure.
