Electronic Shift Control System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Four wheel drive (4WD) mode is selected using a rotary switch located on the instrument panel. With the vehicle ignition on, the on-board controller verifies and matches the shift motor position to the switch.
To shift in and out of 4WD low, 3 conditions must be met:
- The automatic transmission must be in NEUTRAL or the manual clutch depressed.
- The brake must be applied.
- The vehicle speed must be less than 5 km/h (3 mph).
