Module Assembly Inspection).
3. Place the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly on a clean work surface near the transmission assembly.
4. Connect the DT-47825-10 - jumper harness between the vehicle wire harness electrical connector, and the Q8 control solenoid valve
assembly electrical connector.
5. Ignition ON, verify with a scan tool that each TFP switch parameter changes states when gently pushing on each TFP switch with the eraser
end of a pencil.
瀚慖f any TFP switch parameter does not change states, replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.

Circuit/System Description
The transmission manual shift shaft switch assembly, also known as the internal mode switch (IMS), is a sliding contact switch attached to the
manual shift shaft inside the transmission case. The park/neutral position (PNP) switch is integrated into the IMS and connects to the transmission
control module (TCM) lead-frame through a short wire harness. The circuit uses the TCM as a pass-through connector only.
The Park/Neutral Signal is sent from the park/neutral switch directly to the engine control module (ECM) and is used for engine start enable.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* Ignition voltage is between 11-18 volts.
* Engine Speed is 1000 RPM or greater.
