Theory Of Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The Transmission Control Module (TCM) monitors the brake switch 3 signal over the CAN Bus from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). If the Transmission is shifted into Drive position without confirming that the brake was depressed before the shift, a DTC will set.
