G8 V6-3.6L (2008)
to the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid. When the BCM receives a class 2 message from the PCM/ECM indicating the
transmission is in the park position the BCM then grounds the automatic transmission shift lock solenoid control circuit . This energizes the
automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid causing the transmission shift lever to be physically locked in the PARK position. When the
brake pedal is pressed the contacts in the automatic transmission shift lock control switch open, de-energizing the automatic transmission shift lock
control solenoid. This allows the shift lever to be move out of the PARK position.
Steering Wheel Angle Sensor or Steering Wheel Position Sensor
-
The steering wheel position sensor is located somewhere along the steering shaft assembly. The sensor measures the position of the steering wheel
and the speed at which it is rotated. A signal representing this measurement is provided to the vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES)
module. The VSES module uses this signal, along with several others representing different vehicle conditions, to monitor the driving behavior of
the vehicle and ensure that it stays in control. If the VSES module determines that the vehicle is out of control it provides signals to the powertrain
control module (PCM) and the ABS module. These output signals are used to modulate the transmission torque and brake pressure of each of the
vehicles wheels in order to regain control of the vehicle.
