> Trailer towing in OD gear position (use 3 position
(or A/S 3rd) if frequent shifting occurs)
> Cooling system failure causing engine to operate
over 110C (230ÉF)
> Engine coolant temperature stays low too long -
If engine coolant temperature drops below 65C
(150ÉF), the transmission will disengage EMCC.
Extended operation with the EMCC disengaged
will cause the transmission to overheat.
> A brake switch issue will cause the EMCC to
disengage. Extended operation with the EMCC
disengaged will cause the transmission to over-
heat.
> Transmission fluid overfilled
> Transmission cooler or cooler lines restricted
> Transmission Temperature Sensor circuit
3.3 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Diagnostic trouble codes (DTC's) are codes stored
by the Transmission Control Module (TCM) that
help us diagnose Transmission problems. They are
viewed using the DRBIIItscan tool.
Always begin by performing a visual inspection of
the wiring, connectors, cooler lines and the trans-
mission. Any obvious wiring problems or leaks
should be repaired prior to performing any diagnos-
tic test procedures. Some engine driveability prob-
lems can be misinterpreted as a transmission prob-
lem. Ensure that the engine is running properly
and that no PCM DTC's are present that could
cause a transmission complaint.
If there is a communication bus problem, trouble
codes will not be accessible until the problem is
fixed. The DRBIIItwill display an appropriate
message. The following is a possible list of causes
for a bus problem:
± open or short to ground/battery in PCI bus
circuit (pin 43).
± internal failure of any module or component on
the bus
Each diagnostic trouble code is diagnosed by
following a specific testing sequence. The diagnostic
test procedures contain step-by-step instructions
for determining the cause of a transmission diag-
nostic trouble code. Possible sources of the code are
checked and eliminated one by one. It is not neces-
sary to perform all of the tests in this book to
diagnose an individual code. These tests are based
on the problem being present at the time that the
test is run.All testing should be done with a
fully charged battery.
If the TCM records a DTC that will adversely
affect vehicle emissions, it will request (via the
communication bus) that the PCM illuminate the
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). Although theseDTC's will be stored in the TCM immediately as a 1
trip failure, it may take up to five minutes of
accumulated trouble confirmation set the DTC and
illuminate the MIL. Three consecutive successful
OBDII (EURO STAGE III OBD) trips or clearing
the DTC's with a diagnostic tool (DRBIIItor equiv-
alent) is required to extinguish the MIL. When the
TCM requests that the PCM illuminate the MIL,
the PCM sets a DTC P0700(89) to alert the techni-
cian that there are DTC's in the TCM. This must
also be erased in the PCM in order to extinguish the
MIL.
3.3.1 HARD CODE
Any Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) that is set
whenever the system or component is monitored is
a HARD code. This means that the problem is there
every time the TCM checks that system or compo-
nent. Some codes will set immediately at start up
and others will require a road test under specific
conditions. It must be determined if a code is
repeatable (Hard) or intermittent before attempt-
ing diagnosis.
3.3.2 ONE TRIP FAILURES
A One Trip Failure, when read from the TCM, is
a hard OBDII (EURO STAGE III OBD) code that
has not matured for the full 5 minutes. This applies
to codes that will only set after 5 minutes of
substituted gear operation.
3.3.3 INTERMITTENT CODE
A diagnostic trouble code that is not there every
time the TCM checks the circuit or function is an a
intermittent code. Some intermittent codes, such as
codes P1792(12), P1767(14), P1768(15), P0725(18),
P1716(19), P1781(21), P1782(22), P1724(24),
P0705(28), P0120(29), P0750(41), P0755(42),
P0760(43), P0765(44), P1793(48), P0715(56),
P0720(57), P1794(58), P1796(70), P1799(74),
P1739(76), P1717(77), and P0600(78) are caused by
wiring or connector problems. However intermit-
tent codes 50 - 54 are usually caused by intermit-
tent hydraulic seal leakage in the clutch and/or
accumulator circuits. Problems that come and go
like this are the most difficult to diagnose, they
must be looked for under the specific conditions
that cause them.
3.3.4 STARTS SINCE SET COUNTER
For the most recent code (Code 1), the Starts
Since Set counter counts the number of times the
vehicle has started since it was last set. The counter
will count up to 255 starts. Note that this code only
applies to the last code set.
When there are no diagnostic trouble codes stored
in memory, the DRBIIItwill display ``NO DTC'S

GENERAL INFORMATION

then notice harsh bumps when the A/C clutch is
being cycled, but vehicle shudder will be elimi-
nated. After 35 OBDII (EURO STAGE III OBD)
warm-up starts or if the code is cleared, PEMCC
will be reactivated to see if shudder is still present.
If one shudder event occurs, the code will be reset.
Clearing the code and running battery disconnect
with the DRBIIItis the only way to reset the
shudder counter from 20 back to zero.
Transmission Effects:This code does not cause
the transmission to go into limp-in mode. However,
once the code is set, FEMCC to PEMCC operation
before the A/C clutch engagement will be disabled
for 35 OBDII (EURO STAGE III OBD) warm up
starts.
Possible causes:
> Degraded transmission fluid
> Wheels severely out of alignment
> Internal torque converter problem
Name of Code:P1799(74) - Calculated Oil Temper-
ature in Use
When Monitored:When ever the Engine is run-
ning.
Set condition:The code is set if any of the follow-
ing conditions exist for three consecutive key starts:
> The Temperature Sensor voltage is out of range
(below 0.07 volts or greater than 4.94 volts)
> If continuous erratic Temperature Sensor voltage
is sensed.
> The Temperature Sensor temperature stays be-
low 27C (80ÉF) for an extended period of time.
Theory of Operation:The TCM uses a Tempera-
ture Sensor to monitor the transmission sump tem-
perature. This temperature is used to determine
which shift schedule the TCM is to use. (See Trans-
mission Operation and Shift Scheduling at Various
Sump Temperatures in this diagnostic manual) If
the Temperature Sensor circuit fails to operate
properly the TCM will use the calculated oil tem-
perature routine found in prior model year TCM. If
this occurs for three consecutive key starts, the code
will be set. The TCM will then test the Temperature
Sensor circuit after every 35 OBDII (EURO STAGE
III OBD) warm-up starts. If the Temperature Sen-
sor circuit is OK, the Temperature Sensor data is
used in place of the Calculated Oil Temperature
data.
Transmission Effects:If the Temperature Sensor
indicates a temperature below -18C (0É F) or above
115C (240É F) at start up, The TCM compares the
calculated oil temperature to the indicated Temper-
ature Sensor oil temperature. If the calculated oil
temperature differs significantly from the Temper-
ature Sensor value, the calculated oil temperature
will be used for that key start.Possible Causes:
> Wiring or Connector problems in the transmis-
sion temperature sensor signal circuit.
> TRS
> TCM
Name of Code:P1738(75) - High Temperature
Operation Activated.
When Monitored:Whenever the engine is running.
Set Condition:Immediately once the Overheat
Shift Schedule is activated.
Theory of Operation:If the transmission oil tem-
perature rises above 115C (240ÉF), the overheat
shift schedule is activated refer to Transmission
Operation as a function of Transmission Oil Tem-
perature and the code is set. The DTC is an infor-
mation code only and is being set to aid the techni-
cian in determining root cause of a customer
driveability issue. The code is also intended to alert
the technician to determine if a cooling system
malfunction has occurred or if an additional trans-
mission air to oil cooler should be added to the
vehicle if the customer regularly drives in a manner
that overheats the transmission. Extended opera-
tion above 115C (240ÉF) will reduce the durability of
the transmission and should be avoided. Correcting
the cooling system malfunction or installing an
additional transmission oil cooler will improve
transmission durability especially for customers
who operate in city/construction stop and go traffic,
tow trailers regularly, drive aggressively in low gear
or drive regularly in mountainous areas.
Transmission Effects:Information only code. -
Overheat shift schedule was activated, no limp-in
condition occurs. 2nd gear partial EMCC above 40
Km/h (25 MPH), 3rd gear EMCC from 45-69 Km/h
(28-43 MPH), delayed 3-4 upshift at 69 Km/h (43
MPH), early 4-3 coastdown at 66 Km/h (41 MPH),
EMCC operation under all conditions above 40
Km/h (25 MPH) except at closed throttle or 1st gear.
Possible Causes:
± Transmission Overfilled with Oil
± Engine cooling fan failure
± Engine thermostat stuck closed
± Radiator corroded or packed with dirt
± Transmission Oil Cooler Plugged
± Customer driving pattern requires additional
transmission cooling
Name Of Code:P1739(76) - Power-Up at Speed
When Monitored:When TCM (transmission con-
trol module) initially powers-up.
Set Condition:If the TCM powers up while in the
9Drive9position and the vehicle is going above 32
Km/h (20 MPH), the code is set.
Theory of Operation:If a vehicle loses power to
the TCM, the vehicle will go to the 2nd gear mode
