For a complete wiring diagram Refer to the Wiring Information.

Theory of Operation

The Electronic Shift Module (ESM) monitors ignition voltage. The DTC will set, if the monitored voltage is above 16.0 volts.

- When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition in the run position.

- Set Condition:
When the monitored battery voltage rises above 16.0 volts.





Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. 8HP45 Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure
