* The TCM temperature is between 0掳C (32掳F) and 170掳C (338掳F) for 0.25 seconds.

* DTC P0634 and has not set this ignition.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Condition 1

The TCM has detected an internal temperature condition greater than 142掳C (288掳F) for 5 seconds.

Condition 2

Ignition voltage is equal to or greater than 18 volts and the TCM temperature is greater than 50掳C (122掳F) for 2 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
