A transmission 16 and gearshift communication sub-system that includes a gearshift 90, a transmission and transmission controller 16, and a common data bus 18. The gearshift 90 communicates with the transmission controller 16 to change gears or mode of operation of the transmission for automatic transmissions over the common data bus. Such communication is by a standard communication protocol that may be the SAE J1939 protocol. Vehicle control system 10 comprises an electrical system controller (ESC) 30, which is the primary component of a vehicle electronic control system. ESC 30 manages a number of vocational controllers disposed on a vehicle 13 and executes a load management program which oversees the total load imposed on the vehicle electrical system and power train by various accessories installed on the vehicle. Most active vehicle components are directly controlled by one of a group of autonomous, vocational controllers, which include a gauge cluster 14, an engine controller 20, a transmission controller 16, an auxiliary instrument and switch bank 12, an antilock brake system (ABS) controller 22, and the gearshift 90 all of which are connected to ESC 30 over the common data bus which may be a serial data bus or link 18.
