-> Fig.9 Kickdown switch -F8-
Locations:
The kickdown switch (arrow) is integrated into accelerator cable and is located on bulkhead in engine com‐
partment.
On vehicles which do not have an accelerator cable the kick-down signal is generated in the sender for accel‐
erator pedal position -G79-. The sender can be found close to the accelerator pedal.
For self-diagnosis:
On these vehicles the kick-down switch signal is transmitted from the engine control unit to the automatic
gearbox control unit.
On vehicles with Data bus the automatic gearbox control unit receives the kick-down signal from the Data bus.
On vehicles without Data bus the signal is received via a wire from the engine control unit.
