A shift cable is connected to the motor/transaxle to
transmit driver gear selection. The cable operates a
digital transmission range (TR) sensor that feeds
information to the traction inverter module (TIM).
The shift cable does not operate any mechanical
devices in the motor/transaxle other than a parking
pawl.

DTC C1284 Oil Pressure Switch Failure
— The normal operating pressure of the oil pump

is approximately 103 kPa (15 psi). The oil
pressure switch provides a digital input to the
traction inverter module (TIM) to indicate the
status of the motor/transaxle oil pressure.
Under normal operating pressure, the oil
pressure switch is closed to provide a ground
input to the TIM. If the motor/transaxle oil
pressure drops below 28 kPa (4 psi), the oil
pressure switch opens and signals the TIM of
a low oil pressure condition. DTC C1284 is
set if the TIM detects the oil pressure switch
open for more than 10 minutes while traveling
faster than 3.2 km/h (2 mph). If this failure
occurs at key START, the power limit
warning indicator and low oil pressure
warning indicator illuminate and the TIM
reduces power to the motor/transaxle. If the
oil pressure switch opens while driving, only
the low oil pressure indicator illuminates.
