The fuse supplies battery voltage at all times to the A/T warning lamp that is connected to the transmission control module (TCM) connector terminal 17. The TCM will illuminate the A/T warning lamp for approximately 3 seconds, while performing diagnostic tests on the transmission system. The Fuse supplies battery voltage to the TCM at terminals 10 and 11, when the ignition switch is in the ON or START positions.
