Transmission Control Indicator Lamp (TCIL)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Pickup, 2007 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2007 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2007 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The transmission control indicator lamp (TCIL) is used along with the tow/haul switch. The TCIL is located near the end of the shift lever and will illuminate the graphics Tow/Haul ON when the tow/haul switch has been pressed. The PCM controls the operation of the TCIL. The PCM may also flash the TCIL on/off to alert the driver that a transmission operational error has occurred when certain faults in monitored sensors, solenoids or other transmission components are detected.
