Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
AUTOSTICK Mode
During the AutoStick mode the cluster will turn off all PRNDL gear positions (boxes). The PRND graphic will remain illuminated. The EMIC will illuminate and display the current AutoStick gear position, (Example: PRND4). The EMIC will not display skipped gears while in the AutoStick mode. The EMIC will only display the current AutoStick gear positions (unlike the Non-AutoStick mode). AutoStick equipped vehicles with the Cruise feature incorporate an LED "CRUISE" indicator. If the EMIC does not receive valid gear information for 5 seconds, it will illuminate all PRND boxes, cancel the AutoStick function, and record a DTC.
