Low Reference Grounded through the control module.
Component Description
B15 Transmission Internal Mode Switch The assembly contains 5 individual switches.
K20 Engine Control Module The control module controls a series of actuators to ensure optimal engine performance. The control module does this by reading values from a variety of sensors, interprets the data and adjusts the engine actuators accordingly.
K71 Transmission Control Module The control module receives information from a variety of sensors, switches and serial data information from other control modules. This information is used to control a combination of solenoid valves to obtain the correct line pressure, gear ratio and torque converter clutch operation.

The control module K71 uses 4 of the switches as inputs to determine the gear selector lever position. The control module K20 uses 1 of the switches as an input to determine when the transmission is in park or neutral for engine starting.
