E4OD Transmission Only

Manual Lever Position Sensor (MLPS):

PURPOSE

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) sends voltage to the Manual Lever Position Sensor (MLP) to determine the desired gear and electronic pressure control. The MLP is located on the outside of the transmission case at the gearshift selector lever.

CONSTRUCTION

The manual lever position sensor incorporates a series of step-down resistors which act as a voltage divider.

OPERATION

When a gear is selected reference voltage is modified by step-down resistors. The PCM monitors this voltage which corresponds to the position of the gearshift selector lever (P, R, N, D, 2 or 1).
