* Before replacing the TCM, perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection (See:

Transmission and Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General

Diagnostics/6T70/6T75 - Automatic Transmission/Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection).

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (See: Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Typical Scan Tool Data

Circuit/System Description

The engine controls ignition relay or powertrain relay is a normally open relay. The relay switch is held in the open position by spring tension.

Battery positive voltage is supplied directly to the relay coil and the switch contact at all times. The engine control module (ECM) supplies the

ground path to the relay coil control circuit via an internal integrated circuit called an output driver. When the ECM commands the powertrain relay

ON, ignition voltage is supplied to several fuses in the under-hood fuse block.

The ignition voltage that is supplied to the ECM provides power to the internal ECM circuits associated with the throttle actuator control (TAC)

operation. The ECM also monitors the voltage level on the ignition voltage circuit to confirm that the powertrain relay contacts have closed.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The ignition is ON.

* The ignition voltage is between 11-18 V.

* The DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met.
