Transmission Park Selector Switch (F305) - vehicles from 11.2005





Location: The Transmission Park Selector Switch (F305) consisting of two microswitches - 1 - and - 2 - plate is installed on the plate - B - on the Shift Lock Solenoid (N110) - A -.

The Transmission Park Selector Switch (F305) can only be replaced together with Shift Lock Solenoid (N110) => [ Shift Lock Solenoid ] Service and Repair,

Kick Down Switch (F8)





Location: A specific value from the Throttle Position (TP) Sensor (G79) and the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor 2 (G185) are stored in the engine control module.

Accelerator pedal position sensors are integrated in accelerator module - arrow -.

If the throttle position sensor is faulty, then the accelerator pedal module must be replaced.

Selector Lever Position Display (Y6)





Location: Transmission Range (TR) Display (Y6) is integrated in instrument cluster.

A completely lit display warns of a simple fault.

A blinking display warns of a critical fault.

No display indicates a wiring fault or a faulty Transmission Range (TR) Display (Y6).

If the Transmission Range (TR) Display (Y6) is faulty, then the instrument cluster must be replaced.
