P128B






P128B-TCM POWER CONTROL CIRCUIT 2 LOW - TIPM





For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Diagrams/Electrical. Electrical Diagrams


- When Monitored:

With the ignition on. Battery voltage greater than 10 volts.

- Set Condition:

A shorted condition is detected in the Transmission Control Output circuit.







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



Diagnostic Test


1. CHECK IF THE DTC IS ACTIVE

Ignition on, engine not running.

With the scan tool, check Transmission DTCs.

Are there any Speed Sensor or Transmission Range Sensor DTCs present?

Yes

- Refer to the Transmission and Drivetrain and perform the appropriate symptom(s).

No

- Go to 2



2. CHECK IF THE DTC IS ACTIVE

Ignition on, engine not running.

With the scan tool, check TIPM DTCs.

Is the status Active for this DTC?

Yes

- Go to 3

No

- Go to 6



3. CHECK THE (T16) TRANSMISSION CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND

Turn the ignition off

Disconnect the TIPM C8 harness connector.

Disconnect the TCM C1 harness connector.

Measure the resistance between ground and the (T16) Transmission Control Output circuit.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

- Repair the (T16) Transmission Control Output circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform CVT VERIFICATION TEST. Verification Tests

No

- Go to 4
-



4. CHECK THE (T16) TRANSMISSION CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

Turn the ignition off to the lock position.

Connect the TIPM C8 harness connector.

Ignition on, engine not running.

Using the scan tool under the TIPM Actuators, actuate the Transmission.

Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (T16) Transmission Control Output circuits.


NOTE: The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

Does the test light illuminate brightly at all the (T16) Transmission Control Output circuits?

Yes

- Go To 5

No

- Repair the (T16) Transmission Control Output circuit for an open.
- Perform CVT VERIFICATION TEST. Verification Tests



5. TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE

Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors.

Check the TIPM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out.

Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits.

Were any problems found?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform CVT VERIFICATION TEST. Verification Tests

No

- Replace and program the TIPM per Service Information.
- Perform CVT VERIFICATION TEST. Verification Tests



6. INTERMITTENT WIRING AND CONNECTORS

The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.

Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.

While monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit, wiggle test the wiring and connectors.

Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.

Were any problems found?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform CVT VERIFICATION TEST. Verification Tests

No

- Test complete.
