The shift by wire system uses push buttons called the GSM to command an actuator called the TRCM to change gear lever positions via a shift cable connected to the manual control lever located on the transmission.
The shift by wire system consists of:
- a GSM that uses push buttons to select the desired gear.
- a TRCM that changes the gear position via a shift cable.
- a mechanical selector lever cable that connects the TRCM to the transmission.
Whenever the TRCM or selector lever cable is replaced the selector lever cable adjustment procedure must be performed.
