6T70/6T75 - Automatic Transmission

DTC P0601-P0604 or P062F

Diagnostic Instructions

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptors

Note: DTCs P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604 or P062F could set in other control modules. Verify the DTCs are set in the transmission control module (TCM).

DTC P0601
- Control Module Read Only Memory Performance

DTC P0602
- Control Module Not Programmed

DTC P0603
- Control Module Long Term Memory Reset

DTC P0604
- Control Module Random Access Memory Performance

DTC P062F
- Control Module Long Term Memory Performance

Circuit/System Description

This is an internal fault detection of the control solenoid valve assembly. This fault is handled inside the control solenoid valve assembly and no external circuits are involved.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 8.6 volts and 18.0 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0601

The read only memory (ROM) test has failed 5 or greater times.

P0602

The TCM has not been programmed and is unable to detect the start program.

P0603

The TCM has detected a memory checksum error.

P0604

The TCM has detected a random access memory (RAM) test error 5 or greater times.

P062F

The TCM has detected a non-volatile memory error during power-down.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, or P062F
* DTCs P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, and P062F are Type A DTCs.
* The TCM limits the transmission to reverse and 5th gear operation.
* The TCM commands maximum line pressure.
* The TCM forces the torque converter clutch (TCC) OFF.
* The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.
* The TCM commands the high side driver OFF.
* The TCM inhibits Tap Up/Down function.
* The TCM inhibits manual shifting of forward gears.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, and P062F are Type A DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification

Caution: Before programming a control module, the following must be observed, or control module damage may occur:

* The TIS terminal, MDI, and/or scan tool must have the latest software.
* The vehicle battery must be fully charged. The battery voltage should be between 12-14 volts.
* The TIS terminal, MDI, and/or scan tool connections must be secure.
* A battery charger must NOT be connected to the battery when programming a control module.

1. Ignition OFF for 1 minute.
2. Ignition ON, with a scan tool, verify that DTC P0602 is not set.

• If the DTC is set, program the TCM. Refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Programming and Setup (6T70/6T75) (6T70/6T75 - Automatic Transmission)Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Programming and Setup (6T30/6T40/6T45/6T50) (6T30/6T40/6T45/6T50 - Automatic Transmission). If the DTC resets, replace the control solenoid valve assembly. Refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Replacement (6T70/6T75 - Automatic Transmission).

3. Observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTCs P0601, P0603, P0604, and P062F should not set.

• If DTC P0601, P0603, P0604, or P062F sets, replace the control solenoid valve assembly.

4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Repair Instructions

Note: Perform the Transmission Adaptive Values Learn (6T30/6T40/6T45/6T50 - Automatic Transmission) any time a transmission related component is serviced.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
