P1629-TCM INTERNAL - SOLENOID SUPPLY/ WATCHDOG





For a complete wiring diagram Consult Diagrams/Electrical

Theory of Operation

The Transmission Control Module (TCM) performs various internal tests to verify proper controller operation. During the power up of the controller, the TCM tests the ability of the TCM to shut down the Solenoid Supply Voltage circuit. The controller monitors the A/D feedback on the Solenoid Supply driver output to ensure that battery voltage is no longer present. Note: A short to voltage on the Solenoid Supply Voltage circuit or any one of the solenoids may set this DTC.

- When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on.

- Set Condition:
If the TCM detects voltage on the Solenoid Supply Voltage circuit when the TCM request the circuit to be off.





Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview

Diagnostic Test

1. CHECK THE SOLENOID SUPPLY VOLTAGE CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO ANOTHER CIRCUIT




Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
Disconnect the TCM C1 and C2 harness connectors.
Disconnect the Transmission Electrohydraulic Control Unit Assembly harness connector.
Measure the resistance between the Solenoid Supply Voltage circuit and every other circuit in the Transmission Electrohydraulic Control Unit Assembly harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms between the Solenoid Supply Voltage circuit and any other circuit(s) in the Transmission Electrohydraulic Control Unit Assembly harness connector?

Yes

- Repair the Solenoid Supply Voltage circuit for short to another circuit.
- Perform NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST.Verification Tests

No

- Using the schematics as a guide, check the Transmission Control Module (TCM) pins, terminals, and connectors for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits. If no problems are found, replace and program the TCM.
