Acura RL. Manual - part 59

Fig. 190: Transmission Gear Shift Selection Position

General Description

When the shift lever is moved to the M position (the sequential sportshift mode (S-MODE) is selected), the
upshift (S-UP) switch and the downshift (S-DN) switch can be used. When the shift lever is moved toward
the S-UP switch, an upshift is executed, and when the shift lever is moved toward the S-DN switch, a
downshift is executed. The S-MODE switch signal, the S-UP switch signal, and the S-DN switch signal are
grounded when turned on and opened when turned off.

When the S-MODE switch is turned on in the P, R, N, and D3 positions, a malfunction of the S-MODE
switch is detected and a DTC is stored.
