Component Description: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Lincoln Continental. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the driver needs to change gear position the driver selects P R N D or S by pressing a GSM button. The GSM reads the switch inputs and sends a request over the High Speed Controller Area Network 2 (HS2-CAN) through the GWM over the High Speed Controller Area Network 1 (HS1-CAN) to the PCM. The PCM receives the input from the GSM, combines in vehicle conditions to determine commanded transmission range then sends a command to the TRCM through a GWM over the High Speed Controller Area Network 2 (HS2-CAN). The TRCM will act on the command from the PCM by moving the transmission to the commanded position via a selector lever shift cable. The PCM reads the transmission range sensor and confirms the correct position has been achieved. The PCM then sends a message to the GSM and the IPC to display the current transmission range.
