The TCM continuously transmits information on the bus indicating the selected "SELECTOR LEVER POSITION  " with value P, R, N, D, M, L" or respectively P, R, N, D, 4, 3, L (D223L), the value being used by both the engine control system and the MIU.

If a selector lever position other than P or N is selected, the requested air mass/combustion will be increased to compensate for the imminent load increase. This is to compensate fully for the automatic transmission's increased torque requirement and avoid a reduction in idling speed before idle speed control compensation has had time to take effect.

The main instrument unit uses "SELECTOR LEVER POSITION  " information to light up the relevant segment in the selector lever position indicator.
