Shift Sequences (Phase 1 Shifts): Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Durango. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Once all the driver controllable conditions for the requested shift have been met, the FCM begins a shift timer with a maximum duration of 1 second per mode sensor target segment. If the shift timer expires before the FCM recognizes to correct mode sensor position, the shift is considered to have been blocked. The blocked shift will increment the blocked shift counter by one. The FCM strategy for handling blocked shifts will be described later. The process the FCM performs for the various shifts will be described first.
