DTC Descriptor
DTC P2536: Ignition Accessory Switch Circuit
Circuit/System Description
The transmission control module (TCM) continuously monitors the ignition accessory voltage circuit. A low ignition accessory voltage reading at the TCM will cause DTC P2536 to set.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | No Engine Speed Circuit Malfunction, DTC P0727 |
| • | No Lost Communications with the ECM, DTC U0100 |
| • | NO CAN Bus Reset Counter Overrun, DTC U2104 |
| • | Engine speed is 400 RPM or greater. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The TCM detects that ignition accessory voltage is less than 8.68 volts for 20 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P2536 is a Type A DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P2536 is a Type A DTC.

Circuit/System Verification
Engine running, verify the transmission control module (TCM) scan tool ignition voltage parameter is greater than 8.68 volts.
| ⇒ | If not greater than the specified range, refer to
Charging System Test
before performing Circuit/System Testing. |
Circuit/System Testing
Important: You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the C1 harness connector at the TCM.
- Test for less than 1.0 ohm between ground circuit terminal 9 and ground.
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 12 and ground.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the B+ circuit fuse is open, replace the TCM. |
- If all circuits test normal, replace the TCM.
