The transmission control module (TCM) requires direct battery voltage to operate properly.
DTC P0883 is a type C DTC.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0883 Transmission Control Module (TCM) Power Input Signal High
Engine speed is greater than 400 RPM for 1 second.
DTC P0883 sets when the TCM detects battery direct voltage greater than 18 volts for 6 out of 10 seconds.
• | The TCM does not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). |
• | Hydraulic default is commanded. Shift selector position and hydraulic state of logic valves determine range. |
• | The TCM inhibits main modulation. |
• | The TCM inhibits torque converter clutch (TCC) engagement. |
A scan tool can clear the code from TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure.
• | Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM. Inspect for the following conditions: |
- | A bent terminal |
- | A backed-out terminal |
- | A damaged terminal |
- | Poor terminal tension |
- | A chafed wire |
- | A broken wire inside the insulation |
• | When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. |
• | You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a condition. |
• | This DTC is normally set due to vehicle charging system concerns. |

1 | Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? | -- | Go to Step 2 | |
Important: Before clearing the DTC, use the scan tool in order to record the Freeze Frame and Failure Records for reference. The Clear Info function will erase the data. Is voltage within the specified value? | B+ | Go to Diagnostic Aids | Go to Step 3 | |
Monitor the vehicle charging system for voltage spikes. Refer to Charging System Test . Is the vehicle charging system operating properly? | B+ | Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections | Go to Step 4 | |
4 | Repair the charging system. Refer to Charging System Test or Generator Replacement . Did you complete the repair? | -- | Go to Step 5 | -- |
5 | Perform the following procedure in order to verify the repair:
Has the test run and passed? | -- | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 2 |
6 | With the scan tool, observe the stored information, capture info and DTC info. Does the scan tool display any DTCs that you have not diagnosed? | -- | System OK |
