WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 33 other vehicles, including the 2002 Saturn Vue, 2002 Pontiac Montana, 2002 Pontiac Aztek, 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette, and 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Gear switches are located inside automatic transmission. Switches may be normally open or closed, and change status depending upon internal hydraulic pressures. PCM uses high gear switch information in controlling emission components and engagement of Torque Converter Clutch (TCC).
