Purpose/Function
The transaxle range sensor detects the position of the manual valve and selector lever.
The transaxle range sensor signal is used for automatic shift control, manual shift control, TCC control, line pressure control, direct electric shift control, learning control, engine-transaxle integration control, and the on-board diagnostic system.
Construction
The transaxle range sensor consists of a housing and slider which are installed to the control valve body as a part of the TCM.
The slider is assembled to the housing and the pin which projects from the slider and is connected to the manual valve.
Operation
When the selector lever is operated, the manual valve strokes via the manual shaft while the slider strokes via the slider pin.
The transaxle range sensor detects the signal corresponding to the manual valve position according to the slider stroke. This signal is calculated in the TCM and detected as a range position.
