For a complete wiring diagram Refer to the Wiring Information.
Theory of Operation
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) performs various internal tests to verify proper controller operation. If the TCM detects that the variables that dictate the vehicle application are not present, the controller will enter Limp-in mode and illuminate the MIL.
- When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on.
- Set Condition:
If the TCM detects the variables that dictate the vehicle application are not present.
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. 8HP45 Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure
