DESCRIPTION

Tech Tips


  • The electronic shift lever system is a linkless type that does not use a shift cable.

  • The shift and select sensors are non-contact type sensors.

The shift lever (transmission floor shift assembly) is a momentary type, which returns to its home position by spring tension as the driver's hand is released from the shift lever after shifting.

The shift lever (transmission floor shift assembly) contains a shift lever position sensor to detect the shift lever position (Home, R, N, D or M). Because the shift lever position sensor operates using Hall ICs, they can accurately detect the shift lever position in a reliable manner.
