Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The internal mode switch (IMS) assembly is a sliding contact switch attached to the control valve body within the transmission. The nine outputs from the switch indicate which position is selected by the transmission manual shaft. Four outputs (A, B, C, P), are range selection inputs to the transmission control module (TCM). Five outputs (R1, R2, D1, D2, S) are direction selection inputs to the hybrid powertrain control module (HPCM). The input voltage at the module is high when the switch is open and low when the switch is closed to ground.

The HPCM compares the IMS range position to the IMS direction position to verify the transmission direction is correct.
