DTC P0727 Non-Hybrid
Circuit Description
Engine speed information is sent to the transmission control module (TCM) by the engine control module (ECM) through the controller area network (CAN). A 2-wire circuit is used to communicate data between the ECM and TCM, CAN H and CAN L. A fault in the CAN will not cause DTC P0727 to set by itself. If a communication fault occurs, other DTCs will set before P0727.
When the ECM sends the TCM an invalid engine speed, DTC P0727 sets. DTC P0727 is a type B DTC.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0727 Engine Speed No Signal
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | No HSCAN DTC U0100. |
| • | The engine is running for 5 seconds and not in fuel cut-off. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The engine speed is invalid for 1 second.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The TCM requests the ECM to illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. |
| • | The TCM commands maximum line pressure. |
| • | The TCM calculates a default engine speed based on transmission input shaft speed. |
| • | The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions. |
| • | The ECM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The ECM stores this information as Freeze Frame and Failure Records. |
| • | The TCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The TCM stores this information as Failure Records. |
| • | The TCM stores DTC P0727 in TCM history. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The ECM turns OFF the MIL after the third consecutive drive trip in which the TCM does not send a MIL illumination request. |
| • | A scan tool can clear the MIL/DTC. |
| • | The TCM clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an emission related diagnostic fault occurring. |
| • | The TCM cancels the DTC default actions when the ignition switch is OFF long enough in order to power down the TCM. |
