The transmission control module (TCM) is an electronic device which monitors inputs to control various transmission functions including shift quality and transmission sensors, switches, and components to process for use within its control program. Based on this input information, the TCM controls various transmission output functions and devices.
DTCs P0725, P0726 and P0727 are related to the same circuit. These DTCs will not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), however, the DTCs will be stored in memory.
The following information is transmitted between the TCM and the engine control module (ECM) through the controller area network (CAN) line:
• | Engine malfunction signal |
• | Engine speed |
• | Engine output torque reduction signal |
• | Engine coolant temperature (ECT) |
• | The engine speed is greater than 7,000 RPM. |
• | The system voltage is too high or too low. |
• | The CAN transmitting wiring harness is shorted or open. |
• | The TCM or ECM is defective. |
• | No lamp control is required, but diagnostic information should be stored immediately when a malfunction is detected. |
• | Adopt Emergency/Substitute mode and constant 4th gear. |
• | Open lock up clutch |
• | A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles without a fault. |
• | Clear the DTCs with a scan tool. |
• | Inspect the poor wiring harness connection for TCM connectors and transmission wiring connectors. |
• | Inspect the improperly formed or damaged terminals. |
