Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Buick Regal and 2003 Buick Century. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The transmission internal mode switch (IS) is a sliding contact switch attached to the selector detent inside the transmission side cover. The four inputs to the PCM indicate the position of the transmission gearshift lever. The input voltage level at the PCM is high, B+, when the IMS is open and low when the switch is closed to ground. The four input parameters represented are Signals A, B, C and P - Parity.

If the PCM detects a combination of IMS signals that are invalid, or a transitional state between gear selector positions, while attempting to start the vehicle, then DTC P1819 sets. DTC P1819 is a type C DTC.
