Toyota Camry (XV70): Transmission Control Switch Circuit

Toyota Camry Repair Manual XV70 (2018-2024) / Drivetrain / Ua80e (automatic Transmission / Transaxle) / Automatic Transaxle System / Transmission Control Switch Circuit

DESCRIPTION

When the shift lever is in S and moved toward "-" or "+", it is possible to select different shift ranges (S1 to S8).

Moving the shift lever toward "+" increases the shift range by one, and moving the shift lever toward "-" decreases the shift range by one.
