OVERVIEW

The automatic transmission external controls comprise a selector lever assembly and a transmission cable. The selector lever allows the
driver to select forward or reverse gears and also to engage sport or manual 'Jaguar Sequential Shift' modes.

Movement of the selector lever is confirmed to the driver by illumination of the applicable position

LED (light emitting diode)

on the

illumination module and by a message displayed in the instrument cluster message center.

• NOTE: PRND is not displayed in the message center. When in sport mode 'S' is displayed and when in Jaguar Sequential Shift mode the
selected gear (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6) is displayed.

The selector lever assembly is located in a central position on the transmission tunnel, between the front driver and passenger seats and is
secured to the transmission tunnel with 4 bolts. The selector lever assembly is an electro-mechanical assembly which is used by the driver
to select the required transmission mode. Serviceable parts comprise the shifter mounting plate, the knob, the PRND LED display, gaiter and
illumination module assembly and the base shifter. If other selector components require replacement then a complete shifter assembly will
need to be fitted.

Selections made using the selector lever are passed to the transmission lever arm by a cable. A ball pin is attached to the lever mechanism
and provides for the attachment of the cable.

There are 5 selector lever positions and 2 additional positions for manual 'Jaguar Sequential Shift' operation:

P (Park) - Prevents the vehicle from moving by locking the transmission
R (Reverse) - Select only when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is at idle
N (Neutral) - No torque transmitted to drive wheels
D (Drive) - Select only when the vehicle is stationary and the engine speed is at idle. Allows the transmission to automatically select
the most appropriate of the 6 forward gears

M/S (Manual/Sport Mode) - Initial selection of this position activates the transmission 'Sport' mode. This position has the same
function as 'D' but forces the transmission to upshift at higher engine speeds to improve acceleration
+ and - (Manual 'Jaguar Sequential Shift' mode) - Movement of the selector lever in the +/- positions, when the lever is in the M/S
position, will operate the transmission in manual (Jaguar Sequential Shift) mode allowing the driver to manually select all 6 forward
gears.

- To change back to Sport mode once Manual 'Jaguar Sequential Shift' mode has been engaged, the selector lever must first be
moved to the 'D' position and then returned to the M/S position.

The selector lever position is shown on the PRND

LED

display on the selector illumination module. The illumination of the

LED

's is controlled

CAN (controller area network)

messages from the instrument cluster.

The selector lever position when in 'Sport' or 'Jaguar Sequential Shift' mode is displayed to the driver on the selector position

LED

and in the

instrument cluster. PRND positions are not displayed. In 'Jaguar Sequential Shift' mode, if a gear is selected but the

TCM (transmission

control module)

logic prevents selection of that gear, the requested gear will be initially displayed. The

TCM

will engage the next allowed

gear and then display that gear. In 'Jaguar Sequential Shift' when a gear is selected it will only be displayed in the instrument cluster
message center.

Gear Shift Module

A gear shift module is located on the

LH (left-hand)

side of the selector lever. The gear shift module is an intelligent unit and controls the

selector position

LED

operation and also the shift interlock solenoid operation. The module comprises a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and Hall

sensors which detect the selected position of the selector lever, when in M/S and + and - positions, via a magnet located on the lever
mechanism. The signals from the Hall sensors are passed from a connector on the gear shift module to the

TCM

on a

LIN (local interconnect

network)

The gear shift module main connector uses 4 pins for

LIN

bus, ground, power and neutral inputs and outputs. A second connector allows for

the connection of a ribbon cable from the selector position

LED

for background illumination and position illumination. A third connector

supplies power and ground connections to the shift interlock solenoid.

Shift Interlock

The shift interlock solenoid is located on the

side of the selector lever assembly. The solenoid operates a locking lever which engages

with the lever mechanism and locks it in the Park (P) and Neutral (N) positions. W hen the ignition is in power mode 6 or the engine is
running, the solenoid is de-energised and prevents the lever from moving from these positions until the brake pedal is pressed.

The neutral interlock feature only operates after a period of approximately 3 seconds. This allows the driver to move the selector lever
between gears ('D' to 'R') without the need to operate the brake pedal.

• NOTE: The selector lever cannot be moved from the 'Park' position if the ignition is off.

If a fault occurs with the shift interlock solenoid, the sensor module or the brake switch, an emergency release lever is provided to
disconnect the interlock mechanism. The emergency release lever can be accessed by removal of the

RH (right-hand)

carpet panel from the

floor console. The panel can be removed to gain access to the release lever which is located at the front of the selector lever assembly and
is colored yellow for identification.
