may be inadequate to operate the transmission control solenoids properly. Improper solenoid operation may cause erratic transmission operation,

which may result in internal damage.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The engine speed is greater than 500 RPM.

* Ignition voltage is between 8.6-19.0 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The TCM detects 6 volts or less on the ignition 1 voltage circuit at the TCM for 1.0 second or more.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTC P2534 is a Type A DTC.

* The TCM turns OFF HSD1 and HSD2.

* The TCM turns OFF all solenoids.

* The TCM commands maximum line pressure.

* The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.

* The TCM commands the TCC OFF.

* The TCM allows the vehicle to operate in transmission protection mode.

* The TCM disables Tap up and Tap down functions.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P2534 is a Type A DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

If all circuit tests are OK, ensure the transmission pass through connector and harness terminals are clean and not damaged, and the charging

system is functioning correctly.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Engine ON, accessories OFF, measure and record the battery voltage with a DMM. The battery voltage should be between 12.5-14.5 volts.

瀚慖f the voltage is not within the specified value, or the charge indicator light is ON, refer to Symptoms - Engine Electrical (See: Starting

and Charging/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/Symptoms - Engine Electrical).

2. Observe the scan tool TCM Ignition Voltage parameter. The reading should be between 12.5-14.5 volts.
