Gear Position Display

Gear Position Display

The gear position display is controlled by the Transmission Control Module (TCM). The gear position is illuminated in response to CAN messages from the TCM.

The instrument cluster has no control over the gear position display, but monitors the controlling CAN messages. If the instrument cluster detects ten incorrect CAN messages, 'TRANS. FAILSAFE PROG' is illuminated in the message center. If a correct CAN message is received when the ignition is next switched on to position II, the error is erased and the message removed.
