Purpose/Function

The down switch signal is sent to the TCM via CAN and is used for manual shift control and engine-transaxle integration control.
Construction
The down switch is installed to the selector lever.
The down switch is an on/off type switch.

Operation
When the selector lever is in the shift down position (-), the down switch contact point closes.
Based on the opening and closing of the down switch contact point, the TCM detects that the shift down has been operated.
