transmission range recognition switch (S16/10) in the floor shift. If the selector lever is moved across from "D" to "4", the selector lever is isolated
from the shift rod. Thus there is no longer any mechanical connection with the transmission. The selector lever positions "4", "3", "2" and "1" are then
transmitted electronically to the ETC control module (N15/3) via the transmission range recognition switch.
