OPERATION

As the position of the selector switch varies, the resistance between the Mode Sensor supply voltage pin and the Mode Sensor output will vary. Hardware, software, and calibrations within the Front Control Module (FCM) are provided that interpret the selector switch resistance as given in the table below:





The internal structure and function of the selector switch is such that the connection is made to the Open/Diagnostic resistor before the connection to the individual position resistors is broken. Because of this characteristic, if the resistance between the Mode Sensor supply voltage pin and the Mode Sensor output pin is >19k ohms, the position resistor is open.
