Kickdown Switch




CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The kickdown switch is turned on when the accelerator pedal is depressed beyond the full throttle opening and sends signals to Engine Control Module (ECM).
When the kickdown switch is turned on, the ECM controls gear shifting according to the programmed shift diagrams. If a short circuit develops in the kickdown switch, the ECM disregards the kickdown signals and controls shifting at the normal shift points.
