Object Number: 1570394 Size: SF
Automatic Transmission Controls Schematics

Circuit Description

The transmission control module (TCM) receives an engine coolant temperature signal from the engine control module (ECM). The TCM uses this information to delay torque converter clutch operation until the vehicle has reached an operating temperature of 30°C (86°F).

DTC Detecting Condition

The following engine coolant temperature signals are detected by the TCM while the engine running:

    • 10 Hz (100 ms/cycle) signal being 0% ON (10-14 V) for 2.5 seconds
    • 10 Hz (100 ms/cycle) signal being 100% ON (about 0 V) after 15 minutes from engine start

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • DTC P1705 is stored.
    • The OD/OFF indicator turns ON.
    • The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) turns ON.

Diagnostic Aids

An intermittent condition may be caused by a poor connection, rubbed through wire insulation or a wire broken inside the insulation. Inspect the TCM harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals and for poor terminal-to-wire connections.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. This step checks for DTC P0117 or DTC P0118 stored in the ECM and to proceed to their respective diagnostic charts first.

    2.

  2. This step checks for proper voltage values.

    3.

  3. This step checks for poor ECM connector terminal contact.

    4.

  4. This step determines whether the condition is intermittent and not caused by a defective ECM.

    5.

  5. This step checks for a short to ground in PNK/BLU wire.

    6.

  6. This step checks for an open in the PNK/BLU wire.

    7.

  7. This step determines whether the condition is intermittent and not caused by a defective TCM.
