Transmission Control Switch (TCS)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2007 Ford RV Cutaway, 2007 Ford Pickup, 2007 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2007 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2007 Ford Econoline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

On automatic transmission equipped vehicles, the TCS provides an input signal to the PCM whenever the switch is pressed. For F-Super Duty, the tow/haul indicator illuminates when the TCS is cycled to engage and disengage the tow/haul strategy. For E-Series, the overdrive cancel indicator illuminates when the TCS is cycled to engage or disengage the overdrive function of the transmission. For additional information and diagnostics, refer to the appropriate AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION article.
