DTC Type Reference

Powertrain Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Type Definitions (See: Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/Powertrain Diagnostic Trouble Code

(DTC) Type Definitions)

Circuit/System Verification

1. Engine idling at normal operating temperature, verify the scan tool TCM Temperature parameter is between -247 and +247掳C (-412 and

+477掳F).

瀚慖f not within the specified range, replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.

2. Operate the vehicle at 64 km/h (40 mph) for 10 minutes. Monitor the TCM Temperature parameter and the Transmission Fluid Temperature

parameter with a scan tool. The TCM Temperature parameter should increase by more than 2掳C (3.5掳F). Also, the TCM Temperature

parameter and the Transmission Fluid Temperature parameter should be within 10掳C (18掳F) of each other.

瀚慖f the TCM Temperature parameter does not increase by more than 2掳C (3.5掳F) or the TCM Temperature parameter value is not within 10

掳C (18掳F) of the Transmission Fluid Temperature parameter, then replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.

3. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the

conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
