Powertrain Control Module (PCM) - 62TE

P0890-SWITCHED BATTERY





For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

Theory of Operation

The transmission output from the TIPM is used to supply power to the solenoid pack when in normal operating mode and to turn off power to produce transmission "limp-in" mode. The TIPM transmission output (which supplies power to the solenoid pack) is fed back to the controller. It is referred to as SWITCHED BATTERY. After a controller reset (ignition key turned to the RUN position or after cranking engine), the controller verifies that the TIPM is not energizing the output by checking for no voltage on Switched battery line (TCM power input) before the command is sent to the TIPM to energize the output. After switched battery is verified for no voltage, the voltage of each of the solenoid pack pressure switches is also checked. Since the solenoid pack is not powered up, there should be no voltage on any of the pressure switches.

- When Monitored:
One time after a reset (ignition key turned to the RUN position or after cranking engine).

- Set Condition:
A fault is set if voltage greater than 4.5 volts is detected for 7 msec on any of the pressure switch circuits before the relay is energized. The transmission is placed in Limp-In. The MIL is on after 10 seconds of vehicle operation.
