Transmission Shift Selector
The keypads on the shift control are
R
(Reverse),
N
(Neutral),
D
(Drive), Up and
Down arrows, and the
Mode
button. A digital
display window shows gear selection, various
transmission modes, oil level and transmission
fault codes. Generation 4 keypads have a split
screen displaying two number sets while in
drive. The left number displays the highest
forward range available. The right number is
the range that the transmission is currently in.
NN
(Neutral) will appear in the display window
when the ignition is turned On. This indicates
the transmission is in neutral and it is safe
to start. If the
NN
does not display when the
ignition is turned on, there is no power to the
shift selector and the transmission will not allow
the engine to start. No display is an indicator of
electrical problems with the engine batteries,
ECU or the shift selector.

R

RR will display.
Select Neutral by pressing
N

around the

button has a raised ridge so

highest forward gear (6th gear) appears

These buttons are not functional in
Neutral or Reverse. When in Drive, one
press changes the gear range selected
by one. If the button is continuously
held, the selected range will change up
or down until the button is released or
