Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

The transmission control module (TCM) within the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly continuously monitors the system voltage on the ignition voltage circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC

P0562
* Ignition voltage is between 8.6 volts and 19.0 volts.
* Engine speed is 1200 RPM or greater.

P0563

Ignition voltage is between 8.6 volts and 19.0 volts.

P2534
* The engine is running.
* Ignition voltage is between 8.6 volts and 19.0 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0562

The TCM detects system voltage is 11 volts or less for 10 seconds.

P0563

The TCM detects system voltage is 18 volts or greater for 10 seconds.

P2534

The TCM detects 2 volts or less on the ignition 1 voltage circuit at the TCM for 10 seconds or more.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

P0562 and P0563

DTCs P0562 and P0563 are Type C DTCs.

P2534
* DTC P2534 is a Type A DTC.
* The TCM turns OFF all high side drivers.
* The TCM turns OFF all solenoids.
* The TCM commands maximum line pressure.
* The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.
* The TCM commands the TCC OFF.
* The TCM allows the vehicle to operate in transmission protection mode.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* DTCs P0562 and P0563 are Type C DTCs.
* DTC P2534 is a Type A DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

Inspect for the following conditions:

* Loose or damaged terminals at the generator
* Loose or worn generator drive belt

Circuit/System Verification

1. Engine running, accessories OFF, measure and record the battery voltage at the battery terminals. The voltage should be between 12.6-15.0 volts.

If not within the specified range, refer to Charging System Test (Charging System Test).

2. Observe the scan tool TCM Ignition Voltage parameter. The reading should be between 12.6-15.0 volts.
3. 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.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the 20-way harness connector at the transmission.
2. Connect the DT-47825-20 to the 20-way transmission harness connector.
3. Test for less than 10 ohms between the ground circuit terminals listed below and ground.

* Terminal 1
* Terminal 18

If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

4. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminals listed below and ground.

* Terminal 13
* Terminal 15

If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

5. If all circuits test normal, replace the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly.

Repair Instructions

Important:
* Perform the Service Fast Learn Adapts (Programming and Relearning) following all transmission related repairs.
* Before replacing the TCM, perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection (Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection).

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