For a complete wiring diagram Consult Diagrams/Electrical

Theory of Operation

The messages sent on the CAN bus 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.

- When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on, one valid CAN ID received at least once.

- Set Condition:
When the TCM detects an incorrect CAN ID from the ECM/PCM.
