P1636-TCM INTERNAL- EXTERNAL WATCHDOG PERFORMANCE





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. This DTC indicates that watch dog circuitry external to the microprocessor has detected an error. If the TCM watch dog circuitry external to the microprocessor detects an error, the controller will enter Limp-in mode and illuminate the MIL.

- When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on.

- Set Condition:
If the TCM watch dog circuitry external to the microprocessor detects an error.
