Title: UB80F (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION / TRANSAXLE): AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM: Transmission Control Switch Circuit; 2022 - 2024 MY RAV4 [12/2021 -        ]

Transmission Control Switch Circuit

DESCRIPTION

When the shift lever is in S and moved toward "-" or "+", it is possible to select different shift ranges (S1 to S8).

Moving the shift lever toward "+" increases the shift range by one, and moving the shift lever toward "-" decreases the shift range by one.
