Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Cadillac ATS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The driver shift request, also known as the manual mode shift function, allows the driver to select the desired range of gears for current driving conditions. The driver shift request shift system is activated when the gear selector is in the manual position. The driver shift request is deactivated in all other range positions. When driver shift is requested, a signal is sent to the Body Control Module (BCM) and also to the Transmission Control Module (TCM). Each time a signal is sent, an internal counter in the BCM and TCM increments. Both counters must have the same count value. This code sets when the rolling count value of the TCM does not match the same rolling count value sent from the BCM.
