Floor Shift
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The E-Shifter:
- Communicates with the Transmission Control Module (TCM) via a Controller Area Network (CAN).
- Incorporates a solenoid that allows the lever to be locked for purposes of Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) function.
- Lever-lock function is controlled electronically by the TCM via CAN message, and mechanically by the release trigger on the knob.
- Indicates the selected/non-selected gears provided via illumination of PRNDM+- characters on knob.
- Lever-position feedback is provided via mechanical detents, which also keep the lever in the desired position.
- Communicates driver requests for transmission gear changes without a mechanical connection.
- Is comprised of an upper knob and a lower base, which can be serviced separately.
- On some models, may have steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters available. Refer to DESCRIPTION .
The Electronic Shifter (E-Shifter) offers (P, R, N, D, M) modes of function.
The M selection (manual mode) is engaged by moving the shift-lever sideways to M. Requests to up/down shift are achieved by moving the lever fore/aft once in the manual position.
