Shift Control
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The PCM instantly determines which gears should be selected by various signals sent from sensors and switches, and it actuates the shift solenoid valves A, B, C, D, and E to control shifting.
Also, a grade logic control system has been adopted to control shifting in the D position. The PCM compares actual driving conditions with memorized driving conditions, based on the input from the accelerator pedal position sensor, the engine coolant temperature sensor, the barometric pressure sensor, the brake pedal position switch signal, and the shift lever position signal, to control shifting while the vehicle is ascending or descending a slope.
