Shift Position Indicator

The transmission range sensor (on the valve body) sends a signal to the TCM on the position of the transaxle manual valve lever. The TCM receives the switch signal and processes the data. The TCM sends the Shift Lever Position (SLP) information to the BCM via the COD bus. The BCM then outlines with a box the appropriate shifter position indicator in the instrument cluster.
If a problem arises with the shifter position indicator, consult the following chart for diagnostic information. If the malfunction cannot be corrected using the chart, refer to Powertrain Management for additional information.
To replace the shifter position indicator, refer to Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators.
