Set Condition: Calculated ratio not within allowable range for the engaged gear. No shifting operation.

Set Condition: The TCM constantly calculates the transmission ratio based on the N2 - N3 input speed signals and the calculated output shaft speed (CAN message from the ABS). The TCM will detect if the transmission is slipping or an invalid gear ratio is present
