Abstract: A wake-up circuit is provided for a vehicle control module interconnected via a bus network to a vehicle data communication system of a motor vehicle. The wake-up circuit includes an input voltage source; a bus detection stage for detecting bus activity on the bus network, an input stage for supplying the input voltage, and an output stage for supplying an output voltage to the vehicle control module. In operation, the bus detection stage provides an input signal in response to detecting bus activity on the bus network. In response to receiving the input signal from the bus detection stage, the input stage supplies a voltage from the input stage to the output stage. The output stage in turn regulates the output voltage to the vehicle control module.

Abstract: A self-adjusting selector dial shift indicator mechanism is disclosed for an automatic transmission control system. The system includes a carriage assembly having a carrier member and an indicator member slidably interlocked by resilient biasing means for joint longitudinal movement on a support housing. A pair of stops on the housing limit the reciprocal travel of the indicator member at opposite end positions wherein its pointer is aligned respectively with the dial low-drive and park indicia. A first cable section connects the carrier member to the housing. A second cable section connects the carrier to the shift lever steering column tube. Movement of the shift lever from low-drive to park overcomes the biasing means allowing the carrier member to slip relative to the indicator member at each end of the dial automatically indexing its pointer wherein manual adjustment of the cable section is eliminated.
