Theory of Operation

The messages sent on a dedicated CAN BUS and are distinguished by an identifier (ID). Each CAN ID is defined to contain a certain number of bytes. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) verifies that it has received the proper number of bytes for each ID.

Continuously with the ignition on and one valid CAN ID received.

- Set Condition:
When the TCM detects an incorrect CAN ID from the Electronic Shift Module (ESM).
