The transmission control module (TCM) temperature sensor is located inside of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable

components. The TCM monitors the TCM sensor for over temperature protection.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The ignition voltage is greater than 8.6 volts.

* The TCM temperature is between 0-170掳C (32-338掳F) for 0.25 second or greater.

* DTC P0634 has not set this ignition cycle.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Condition 1

The TCM detects an internal temperature condition greater than 146掳C (295掳F) for 5 seconds or greater.

Condition 2

The ignition voltage is greater than 18 volts and the TCM detects an internal temperature condition greater than 50掳C (122掳F) for 2 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTC P0634 is a Type A DTC.

* The TCM defaults the transmission to reverse and 3rd or 5th gear operation.

* The TCM inhibits Tap Up/Down function.

* The TCM inhibits manual shifting of forward gears.

* The TCM commands maximum line pressure.

* The TCM shuts down.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P0634 is a Type A DTC.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON, review the Failure Records when the DTC set. Verify the scan tool ECT Sensor parameter is less than 125掳C (257掳F).

瀚慖f greater than the specified range, refer to Engine Overheating (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Cooling System/Testing and

Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/Engine Overheating).

2. Engine running, accessories OFF, measure and record the battery voltage at the battery terminals with a DMM. The voltage should be

between 12.6-15.0 volts.

瀚慖f not within the specified range, or the charge indicator light is ON, refer to Charging System Test (See: Starting and Charging/Testing

and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Charging System Test).

3. Perform the Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check (See: Transmission and Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Testing

and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/6T70/6T75 - Automatic Transmission/Transmission Fluid Level and Condition

Check) to verify correct fluid level and condition.

4. Perform the Transmission Fluid Cooler Flushing and Flow Test (See: Transmission and Drivetrain/Automatic

Transmission/Transaxle/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/6T70/6T75 - Automatic

Transmission/Transmission Fluid Cooler Flushing and Flow Test) to verify proper transmission oil cooler flow.

5. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running and setting the DTC until normal engine temperature is reached. Verify the scan tool

TCM Temperature parameter is less than 146掳C (295掳F).

瀚慖f greater than the specified range, inspect the transmission cooling system for obstructions to the airflow of the radiator or transmission

due to debris, kinked, or damaged transmission fluid lines, or damage to the transmission cooler. If all the items test normal, replace the
