Transmission Control Switch (TCS)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: On some models the indicator is located on the end of the selector lever and on other models it is located on the instrument panel.

The Transmission Control Switch (TCS) is a momentary contact switch located on the end of the selector lever.

Pushing the TCS will either disengage or engage the tow/haul function of the transmission. If tow/haul is disengaged, OFF will illuminate on the indicator.

Tow haul raises shift points to maximize use of engine power, downshifts the transmission Into lower gears while going down hills to utilize engine braking to help slow the vehicle.
