DTC Descriptor
DTC P1761
- Up and Down Shift Switch Signal Message Counter Incorrect

Circuit/System Description

A 12 volt ignition power circuit is provided by the body control module (BCM) to the Tap Up/Down circuit. When a Tap Up/Down request is made by pressing a plus (+) or minus (-) button or moving the shift lever, a corresponding voltage drop occurs across the resistor network embedded in the switches. This voltage drop is monitored by the BCM through the signal circuit. The BCM sends the request to the transmission control module (TCM) to perform an upshift or downshift. The TCM is constantly monitoring the serial data sent from the BCM for the correct number and sequence of counts for Tap Up and Tap Down function.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The engine speed is greater than 400 RPM for 5 seconds.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The TCM detects the serial data rolling count value for the Tap Up/Tap Down does not match with the expected BCM count, 3 or greater times in 10 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTC P1761 is a Type C DTC.
* The TCM inhibits the Tap Up Tap Down function.
* The TCM inhibits manual shifting of forward gears.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P1761 is a Type C DTC.

Circuit/System Verification

1. DTC P1761 is an informational DTC. Diagnose all other BCM DTCs prior to DTC P1761. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle.
2. If there are no other body control DTCs, diagnosis is accomplished by looking for an intermittent CAN circuit fault. Refer to Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with High Speed GMLAN Device Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with High Speed GMLAN Device.
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.
