Downshift Delay: Operation

While operating, interactive speed control delays or avoids downshifts by allowing up to nearly wide open throttle without the TCM (on SBEC vehicles) (PCM on NGC vehicles) scheduling a downshift. If the interactive speed control is not engaged or the throttle is manually overridden by the driver while interactive speed control is engaged, the downshift delay feature is not activated.

Torque converter lock and unlock shifts are not affected by the downshift delay feature and will occur at the same throttle angle at a given speed regardless of whether interactive speed control operates or not.
