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.
Transmission Control (ECVT Only)
As the driver moves the shift selector lever from park the EMS2000 looks for a brake signal before releasing the shift interlock relay. Upon receiving a valid brake input the shift interlock relay is released and the gear shift lever is moved into a drive position.
The EMS2000 evaluates inputs from the crank sensor, the transmission temperature sensor and the transmission output speed sensor as well as the gear shift lever switches to make decisions for gear selection and programming. Instructions for gear control are passed from the EMS2000 through the GIU to the transmission.
