DTC Descriptor
DTC P071A
- Transmission Tow Mode Switch Circuit
Circuit/System Description
Tow/haul mode enables the operator to achieve enhanced shift performance when towing or hauling a load. When tow/haul mode is selected, the
tow/haul switch input signal to the body control module (BCM) is momentarily toggled to zero volts. This signals the transmission control module
(TCM) to extend the length of time between upshifts and increase transmission line pressure. Cycling the tow/haul switch again disables tow/haul
mode and returns the transmission to a normal shift pattern.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* No Transmission Mode Switch Signal DTC P1762.
* The engine speed is greater than 500 RPM for 5 seconds.
* The system voltage is 8-18 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The Tow Mode switch remains closed, low voltage, for 600 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P071A is a Type C DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P071A is a Type C DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
If the electrical circuit tests are OK and the shift pattern is not occurring, there may be a mechanical/hydraulic condition that prevents operation.
