AX4N Transaxle External Controls 

DESCRIPTION

Shift Control Linkage

The transaxle shift control linkage consists of the following components:

• a column- or floor-mounted transaxle range selector lever
• a cable connecting the column or floor shifter to the transaxle manual control lever (7A256)
• brake/shifter interlock system
• an ignition/shifter interlock cable on floor-shift vehicles

Shift Interlock System

A brake/shifter interlock system consists of the following:

• ignition switch (11572)
• brake pedal stoplight switch (13480)
• brake shift interlock module
• brake shift interlock solenoid assembly (attached to key interlock assembly)
• necessary wiring

On floor-shift vehicles, the ignition/shifter interlock cable:

• locks the floor shift transaxle range selector lever in the PARK position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
• requires the floor shift transaxle range selector lever to be in the PARK position to turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.

Transmission Control Switch (TCS)

The transmission control switch (TCS) is included with floor-mounted shifter and available on column shifter.

The transmission control switch (TCS) is a momentary contact switch located on the floor shift console, next to the transmission range selector lever. When the switch is pressed, a signal is sent to the powertrain control module (PCM) to allow automatic shifts from first through fourth gears or first through third gears only, locking out fourth gear (OVERDRIVE). The powertrain control module then energizes the transmission control indicator lamp on the instrument cluster to indicate OVERDRIVE OFF.
