СИСТЕМА АВТОМАТИЧЕСКОЙ ТРАНСМИССИИ Kick Down Switch Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The kick-down switch turns ON when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed to send a signal to the ECM.

When the kick-down switch is ON, the ECM controls gear shifting according to programmed shift diagrams.

If a short circuit develops in the kick-down switch, the ECM disregards the kick-down signals and controls shifting at the normal shift points.
