Purpose/Function
The M position switch detects that the selector lever is in the M position.
The M position switch signal is sent to the TCM via CAN, and is used for manual shift control and engine-transaxle integration control.
Construction
The M position switch is installed to the selector lever.
The M position switch is an on/off type switch.

Operation
When the selector lever is in the M position, the M position switch contact point closes.
By opening and closing the M position switch contact point, the TCM detects that the selector lever is in the M position.
