Transmission Fluid Pressure (TFP) Switch

The TFP is actually 5 pressure switches combined into a single unit mounted on transmission valve body. The PCM/VCM supplies battery voltage on 3 separate wires to TFP. By grounding one or more of the switches in various combinations, PCM/VCM detects what gear range the vehicle operator has selected.
