Kickdown switch

Kickdown switch


The kickdown switch located under the accelerator pedal informs the transmission control module, on pin 8, when the accelerator has been fully depressed. The fully-depressed accelerator pedal activates the kickdown switch and puts 0 V (ground) on pin 8.

The transmission control module uses the signal to select gear-shifting points for maximum performance. The kick-down function is available in all gear-shifting programs.
