Automatic Transmission - Automatic Transaxle/transmission External Controls: Component Locations

Location

The BSIA is part of the selector lever assembly.

The brake shift interlock system prevents the selector lever from being moved out of PARK unless the requirements to do so are met. The ignition switch must be in the ON position and the brake pedal must be pressed. The brake pedal position is detected by the Brake Pedal Position (BPP) switch. In the event the vehicle will not come out of PARK, the manual release mechanism mechanically bypasses the electric portion of the brake shift interlock system allowing the selector lever to be moved out of PARK. The manual release mechanism is part of the selector lever assembly. If PARK is selected again, the selector lever will be locked again.

Scheme 299: Drive with Grade Assist

Drive with Overdrive (O/D) cancel and grade assist is activated when the Transmission Control Switch (TCS) is pressed. The TCS is located on the selector lever knob. When the TCS is pressed, the 6th gear or O/D upshift is prevented or the transaxle shifts down to 5th gear. The TCS is meant to be used when driving conditions cause excessive shifting from 6th to other gears such as hilly terrain, mountainous areas or when engine braking is required.

Grade Assist

O/D is cancelled.
The transaxle operates in gears 1 through 5.
The Grade Assist lamp illuminates on the Instrument Cluster (IC).
Improves vehicle handling in hilly terrain or mountainous areas by providing engine braking and extending lower gear operation on uphill climbs.
Provides additional engine braking through the automatic transaxle shift strategy which reacts to vehicle inputs (vehicle acceleration, accelerator pedal, brake pedal and vehicle speed).
The transaxle selects gears that provide the desired engine braking which is based on the vehicle inputs. Engine braking increases engine rpm.

Returning to DRIVE mode on flat terrain provides the best fuel economy and transaxle performance. The transaxle returns to O/D when the TCS is pressed again or the key is turned OFF.

With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to «JACKING AND LIFTING»(ref-382368) .
Remove the floor console. For additional information, refer to «INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONSOLE»(ref-382400) .
Disconnect the selector lever cable end from the selector lever ball stud.
Release the locking tab on the selector lever cable clip and remove the selector lever cable from the selector lever housing.
Using a suitable tool, cut the carpet in the center under the heater core and evaporator core housing to gain access to the selector lever cable grommet in the following sequence. Begin cutting the carpet where the selector lever cable is exposed and cut the carpet back until the tool no longer fits between the floor and the heater core and evaporator core housing. To cut the carpet further forward, access the carpet with the tool through the LH side of the heater core and evaporator core housing.
Position the carpet aside to access the selector lever cable grommet.
Remove the battery. For additional information, refer to «BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES»(ref-382392) .
Disconnect the 3 PCM electrical connectors.
Remove the 3 battery tray bolts and the battery tray.
Remove the selector lever cable bracket bolt.
Disconnect the selector lever cable end from the manual control lever.
Disconnect the selector lever cable from the selector lever cable bracket.
Remove and discard the 2 exhaust flange nuts and disconnect the exhaust flange. Discard the exhaust flange gasket.
Disconnect the exhaust hangers and support the exhaust with wire.
Remove the 8 bolts and remove the cross brace.
Remove the 6 exhaust heat shield fasteners (5 shown in illustration) and the exhaust heat shield.
Remove the 2 selector lever cable grommet nuts.
Remove the selector lever cable.
