Shift Control - Grade Logic Control
The grade logic control system is used to control shifting in D. The PCM compares actual driving conditions with programmed driving conditions, based on the input signal from the throttle position sensor, the engine coolant temperature sensor, the barometric pressure sensor, the brake pedal position switch, and the transmission range switch to switch shifting control from the normal control to the ascending or descending control when the PCM determines that the vehicle is ascending a slope or being driven down a slope.
