Theory of Operation
The Transmission Control Output supplies power to the TCC, Overdrive, andGovernor Pressure Solenoids when in
normal operating mode. The Transmission Control Output Control circuit is constantly monitored by the PCM. If the
expected state of the Transmission Control Output Control circuit is different then the expected state, a correspond-
ing DTC will set and the PCM will de-energize the Transmission Control Output and place the transmission in Limp-
in.
When Monitored:
Continuously with the Ignition on.
Set Condition:
This DTC will set if the PCM monitored voltage of the Transmission Control Output Control circuit is different
than the expected voltage for the period 3.0 seconds.
Possible Causes
(T515) TRANSMISSION CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN
(T515) TRANSMISSION CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE

STANDARD PROCEDURE

Theory of Operation
The Transmission Temperature Sensor is used to sense when the transmissiontemperatureistoohotortoocoldto
operate overdrive and/or the torque convertor clutch. When the transmission sensor detects a temperature below 0°
C (32° F), overdrive and the torque convertor clutch are disabled. When thedetected temperature is above 127° C
(260° F), overdrive is disabled and 3rd gear with TCC is engaged, this strategy is used to increase transmission
fluid flow to help cool the transmission.
When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on and the engine running.
Set Condition:
The DTC will set after two consecutive trips in which the transmission oil temperature is greater than 5° C (40°
F) and the transmission oil temperature does not rise more than 8° C (16° F) after 20 minutes of run time with
a vehicle speed greater than 48 Kmh (30 mph). The DTC will also set if the engine temperature is greater than
38° C (100° F) with the transmission oil temperature greater than 127° C (260° F).
