Since I installed the battery monitoring next to the shifter and look at that area more often than before, I now noticed that the Transmission LED comes on when I engage the Parking Brake. To make things more interesting, it is also intermittent, where about 90% of times the Transmission LED does come on, but not always.
I pulled the parking brake very slowly, and the Transmission LED comes on somewhere about half way thru, if I go very slow, it turns OFF and comes back on again when the parking brake is fully engaged.
Sometimes if I wiggle the shifter in P position with the Parking Brake engaged, the Transmission LED goes OFF or goes OFF and comes back ON.
Also, the Transmission LED turn-on sequence appears to work correctly, where it does come ON in Run mode and goes OFF after the engine starts, even if the Parking Brake it is engaged, but it does come ON when I engage the Parking Brake after driving.
Questions:
1. Is the Transmission LED supposed to come ON when the Parking Brake is engaged?
2. Is there is a switch that gets activated by the Parking Brake midway? The Red Brake LED comes on much earlier on, right about when
starting to pull the lever.
3. If the Transmission LED should not come ON when pulling the Parking Brake, what could be wrong?
4. Is there a message in the fact that wiggling the shifter in P position makes the Transmission LED going OFF and ON or is maybe just an intermittent wire connection?
