Theory of Operation


The Transmission Control Module request from the ECM/PCM to change the torque of the engine to avoid possible damage to the transmission.


- When Monitored:

Ignition on with system voltage between 9.0 and 16 volts.


No PCM/ECM CAN Bus DTCs present.

- Set Condition:

When the TCM receives an implausible engine torque signal from the PCM over the CAN Bus for a period of 1.0 second.







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