DESCRIPTION OF THE GEAR SELECTOR
SYSTEM:
1.1.
The gear selector on the 4 X 2 Utility Vehicle is
electronically controlled and vacuum actuated.
The operator selects the desired gear by push-
ing one of
three buttons on the dashboard
.
The operator engages and disengages the dif-
ferential lock using a yellow button to the left of
the steering wheel. See Figure 1.1.
1.2.
A corresponding light on the
instrument panel
confirms the selection, or flashes a trouble code
in the event of a malfunction. See Figure 1.2.

The
brake switch
is tied into the gear selector
circuitry. The vehicle will not shift gears if the
brake pedal is not depressed far enough to actu-
ate the switch or if the switch actuator is out of
adjustment. See Figure 1.3.
1.4.
The
neutral switch
, mounted on the transaxle,
above the Shift Wedge, confirms the position of
the shift wedge. A detent in the
shift wedge
moves a contact roller in the neutral sensor
when the shift wedge moves, generating a signal
that goes to the electronic shift module (ESM).
