Monitored & Set Conditions

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and Transmission Control Module (TCM) communicate messages across the bus, as information from either module is needed to operate their respective systems. Messages from TCM are monitored with ignition on and battery voltage more than 10 volts. DTC will be stored in PCM if no bus messages are received from TCM for 20 seconds. Possible causes for DTC to set are: intermittent condition, defective PCM, or defective connectors or wiring.
