Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual: Transaxle Range Sensor [Fw6 A EL, Fw6 Ax EL]
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.
