Abstract
A method for supporting car wash mode of a vehicle with internal electronic transmission range selection includes entering the vehicle into car wash mode with the engine off and the transmission in the Neutral position. Next, the method continues with monitoring the vehicle for misuse of car wash mode, and transitioning the vehicle transmission to Park from Neutral when misuse of car wash mode is detected.
