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:
Gear shift or gear engagement active.
- Set Condition:
The failure is detected if the transmission fluid temperature is greater than a calibrated threshold.
