WINTER indicator lamp: Notes
To facilitate moving off on slippery road surfaces, the TCM has a winter mode, i.e. the car starts in 3rd gear when the Winter button (W) beside the selector lever is depressed.
The lamp is supplied with current (+15 circuit) in the main instrument unit and grounded via terminal 18 (K20) in the transmission control module (TCM).
The indicator lamp goes out under the following conditions:
- When the Winter button is pressed again.
- When the transmission is in Limp-home mode.
- If the ignition is turned off and then on again.
- When the transmission fluid temperature is above 140 °C.
