RWRG0078 - Fault Code 63 Pre-Authorization
Overview

X-Y Shifter that selects a transmission gear. The X-Y Shifter
motors are controlled with electrical current supplied by the
TECU to move the Shift Finger either side-to-side (rail
selection) or fore-and-aft (gear engagement and
disengagement). Fault Code 63 indicates a failure of the
circuit controlling the Gear Motor and the fore-and-aft
movement of the X-Y Shift Finger.
Note: it has been determined that performing an electrical
pre-test is not needed.
