P0659




DTC P0658 or P0659

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
DTC P0658
- Solenoid High Control Circuit Group 1 Low Voltage

DTC P0659
- Solenoid High Control Circuit Group 1 High Voltage

Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

The transmission control module (TCM) high side driver 1 is located inside of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable parts. The high side driver 1 provides power to the TCM pressure control solenoids and shift solenoids. This fault is handled inside the TCM and no external circuits are involved.

Conditions for Running the DTC

P0658
* The engine speed is greater than 500 RPM for 5 seconds.
* Ignition voltage is 8.6 volts or greater.
* High side driver 1 is enabled.
* DTC P0658 has not set this ignition.

P0659
* DTC P0659 has not set this ignition.
* Ignition voltage is 8.6 volts or greater.
* Ignition switch transitions from OFF to run position.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0658

The TCM detects an internal open or short to ground on the high side driver 1 for 1 second.

P0659

The TCM detects an internal short to voltage on the high side driver 1 circuit for 1 second after engine start.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

P0658
* DTC P0658 is a Type A DTC.
* The TCM turns OFF high side driver.
* 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.
* The TCM inhibits the TAP Up/Down function.
* The TCM inhibits manual shifting of forward gears.

P0659

DTC P0659 is a Type C DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* DTC P0658 is a Type A DTC.
* DTC P0659 is a Type C DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

When DTC P0658 sets, the line pressure control solenoid, and pressure control solenoids 2 and 3, will default to maximum pressure. This results in maximum line pressure to the 3-5 reverse clutch, low/reverse clutch and the 4-5-6 clutch assemblies.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON, verify with a scan tool the high side driver 1 parameter displays ON.
2. Engine Running, gear selector lever in Park position. Verify with a scan tool the following test status parameters displays OK:

* High Side Driver 1 Circuit High Voltage Test Status
* High Side Driver 1 Circuit Open Test Status
* High Side Driver 1 Circuit Low Voltage Test Status

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

Note: You must perform the Circuit/System Verification first.

1. Ignition OFF, remove the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly. Refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Replacement (Service and Repair).
2. Perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection (Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection).
3. Place the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly on a clean work surface near the transmission assembly.
4. Connect DT-47825-10 - jumper harness between the vehicle wire harness electrical connector, and the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly electrical connector.
5. Ignition ON, verify with a scan tool the following test status parameters display OK:

* High Side Driver 1 Circuit High Voltage Test Status
* High Side Driver 1 Circuit Open Test Status
* High Side Driver 1 Circuit Low Voltage Test Status

If any test status parameter displays Fault or Malfunction, replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.

Repair Instructions

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

* Control Module References (Programming and Relearning) for control solenoid valve assembly replacement, setup, and programming.
* Perform the Service Fast Learn Adapts (Programming and Relearning) following all transmission related repairs.
