P1629-TCM INTERNAL - SOLENOID SUPPLY/ WATCHDOG

P1629-TCM INTERNAL - SOLENOID SUPPLY/ WATCHDOG



For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information


Theory of Operation

The Transmission Control Module (TCM) performs various internal tests to verify proper controller operation. During the power up of the controller, the TCM tests the ability of the TCM to shut down the Solenoid Supply Voltage circuit. The controller monitors the A/D feedback on the Solenoid Supply driver output to ensure that battery voltage is no longer present. Note: A short to voltage on the Solenoid Supply Voltage circuit or any one of the solenoids may set this DTC.



Possible Causes

(T78) SOLENOID SUPPLY VOLTAGE CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE
TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM)

Always perform the NAG1 Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Transmission Control (TCM) - Standard Procedure).


CHECK THE (T78) SOLENOID SUPPLY VOLTAGE CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO ANOTHER CIRCUIT

1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the TCM C1 and C2 harness connectors.
3. Disconnect the Transmission Electrohydraulic Control Unit Assembly harness connector.
4. Measure the resistance between the (T78) Solenoid Supply Voltage circuit and every other circuit in the Transmission Electrohydraulic Control Unit Assembly harness connector.


Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms between the (T78) Solenoid Supply Voltage circuit and any other circuit(s) in the Transmission Electrohydraulic Control Unit Assembly harness connector?

Yes


No
