DTC Set Conditions

If the PCM detects a fail-safe condition, it will attempt to illuminate the "N" range light. The PCM sends a 12 volts pulse for 60 - 180 ms. If it does not detect a voltage drop during the pulse, it waits about 60 seconds and pulses 12 volts again for 60 - 180 ms. If the PCM does no detect the voltage drop before the ignition switch is turned the "LOCK" (OFF), the PCM will consider it as an short circuit of the "N" range light circuit and DTC 56 is set.
