2007 Liberty KJ Factory Service Manual 21 - TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE

P1793-TRD LINK COMMUNICATION ERROR





For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.

Theory of Operation


Engine Torque Management is used during heavy throttle, high-torque, high speed 1-2, 2-3, 4-2, and 3-1 shifts in order to reduce the energy dissipation in the 2-4 and OD clutches to an acceptable level. The Engine Control Module is expected to respond to a torque management test or request by transmitting a message over the communication bus to the Transmission Control Module.



Possible Causes
 
RELATED DTC'S PRESENT
 
TORQUE MANAGEMENT REQUEST SENSE CIRCUIT OPEN
 
TORQUE MANAGEMENT REQUEST SENSE CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND
 
TORQUE MANAGEMENT REQUEST SENSE CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE
 
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE
 
TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE
 


Always perform the 45RFE/545RFE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)



Diagnostic Test

1. CHECK FOR RELATED DTCS

With the scan tool, check for other transmission DTC's

Are any of the DTCs P1694, P0731, P0732, P0733, P0734, and/or P1736 present also?

Yes


No

2. CHECK TO SEE IF DTC P1793 IS CURRENT

With the scan tool, Check the STARTS SINCE SET counter for P1793.

NOTE: NOTE: This counter only applies to the last DTC set.



Is the STARTS SINCE SET counter set at 2 or less?

Yes


No

3. TORQUE MANAGEMENT REQUEST SENSE CIRCUIT OPEN



Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
Disconnect the TCM harness connector.
Disconnect the ECM harness connector.
Measure the resistance of the Torque Management Request Sense circuit from the TCM harness connector to the ECM harness connector.

Is the resistance above 5.0 ohms?

Yes


No

4. TORQUE MANAGEMENT REQUEST SENSE CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND



Measure the resistance between ground and the Torque Management Request Sense circuit.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes


No

5. TORQUE MANAGEMENT REQUEST SENSE CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE



Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the Torque Management Request Sense circuit in the TCM harness connector.

Is the voltage above 10.5 volts?

Yes


No

6. TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE

Measure the voltage of the Torque Management Request Sense circuit in the TCM harness connector.

Is the voltage above 7.0 volts?

Yes


No

7. INTERMITTENT WIRING AND CONNECTORS

The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.
Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors specific to this circuit.
Wiggle the wires while checking for shorted and open circuits.
This DTC can also be set by the Solenoid Switch Valve intermittently sticking in it's bore under extreme temperature conditions, or by a worn Solenoid Switch Valve or plugs.
With the scan tool, check the DTC EVENT DATA to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.

Where there any problems found?

Yes


No
