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.
Component Description: Notes
When the driver needs to change gear position the driver selects PRND or S by rotating a GSM dial. The GSM senses the dial position and sends a request over the Subnet Network, and the High Speed Controller Area Network 2 (HS2-CAN) through the GWM over the High Speed Controller Area Network 1 (HS1-CAN) to the PCM. The PCM receives the input from the GSM, combines in vehicle conditions and moves the transmission to the commanded position. The PCM reads the transmission range sensor (TRS) and confirms the correct position has been achieved.
