Theory Of Operation

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

The Transmission Control Module monitors and controls the gear ratio by the use of a Step motor that transfers electrical power to mechanical movement. The rationality is a continuous test that monitors the Step motor movement. If the Step motor ON/OFF status does not match the TCM requested ON/OFF status a DTC will set.
