DTC Descriptors
DTC P0601: Transmission Control Module (TCM) Read Only Memory (ROM)DTC P0602: Transmission Control Module (TCM) Not Programmed
DTC P0603: Transmission Control Module (TCM) Long Term Memory Reset
DTC P0604: Transmission Control Module (TCM) Random Access Memory (RAM)
DTC P1621: Transmission Control Module (TCM) Long Term Memory Performance
Circuit/System Description
This is an internal fault detection of the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly. This fault is handled inside the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly and no external circuits are involved.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly runs the program to detect an internal fault when the key is ON or the engine is running. |
| • | Ignition voltage is 8-18 volts. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly has detected an internal malfunction.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | DTCs P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, and P1621 are Type A DTCs. |
| • | The TCM shifts to a default gear, shuts down, and turns OFF. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, and P1621 are Type A DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
When attempting to set TCM internal DTCs let the engine run for at least 1 minute and then shut the engine off for 30 seconds. Following this procedure will allow for a complete TCM shutdown. Reprogram the TCM and retest the DTC to see if the DTC resets.
