Adjusting the ________ table allows the upshifts and downshifts to occur at vehicle speed values.

Adjusting the ________ table allows the upshifts and downshifts to occur at vehicle speed values.

• A. Engine RPM
• B. Shift Speed
• C. Vehicle Speed
• D. Gear Ratio

Answer: (B)

Shifts are controlled by a schedule that sets when the transmission changes gears, and that schedule is stored in the shift speed table. Adjusting this table changes the thresholds at which the car decides to upshift or downshift, specifically in terms of vehicle speed. So, by editing the shift speed table, you decide at what speeds (mph or kph) the transmission will shift, regardless of engine RPM. If you were to tweak an engine RPM table, shifts would depend on engine speed rather than how fast you’re going. The gear ratio affects the relationship between engine speed and road speed but doesn’t by itself set the shift points. Raising the numbers in the shift speed table makes shifts occur at higher speeds, while lowering them makes shifts happen sooner.
