Circuit/System Description
The automatic transmission manual shift shaft position switch assembly, also called the internal mode switch (IMS) assembly, is a dual sliding
contact switch attached to the control valve body within the transmission. The 9 outputs from the switch indicate which position is selected by the
transmission manual shaft. Four outputs (A, B, C, P) are range selection inputs to the transmission control module (TCM). Five outputs (R1, R2,
D1, D2, S) are direction selection inputs to the hybrid powertrain control module (HPCM). The input voltage at the modules is high when the
switch is open and low when the switch is closed to ground. The state of each input is displayed on the scan tool as IMS Range and IMS Direction.
The IMS Range input parameters represented are transmission range signal A, signal B, signal C, and signal P. The IMS Direction input parameters
represented are transmission direction signal R1, signal R2, signal D1, signal D2, and signal Start.
