Programming Patch Pros/Cons

troubadour · 12-19-2012, 01:42 PM

There are two ways I can imagine (not that there might be more I can't) it works: 1] The movement of the lever into "Park" physically puts the transmission into park and depresses the control rod down to the transmission - which in turn kicks in the PNP switch and tells the system "I'm in Parking gear" (this seems the most likely as I contemplate it) and 2] There might be some switch in the console/shift itself.

But if the connector for the PNP switch is in the center console area, that's all I'd need.

I noted these sections of the FSM that might be helpful, although they don't seem to tell one where things are physically:

EC - "P0850 PNP SWITCH"
IP - "Center Console Assmebly"
SEC - "B2604 and B2605 PNP Switch"
TM - "Park/Neutral Position Switch"

I have a busy afternoon and evening coming up and will not have much time to look through the manuals until late tonight.

You may be able to find it on your own. Adobe Reader has an Advanced Search under the Edit menu that I use a lot. Put all the FSMs in a folder and select that folder after clicking "All PDF Documents in" at the top of the Advanced Search window. Then you can search all the FSMs at once. The search does not work with wiring diagrams (apparently they are pics, and don't contain any text).
