DTC Descriptors
DTC P0667
-
Transmission Control Module (TCM) Temperature Sensor Performance
DTC P0668
-
Transmission Control Module (TCM) Temperature Sensor Circuit Low Voltage
DTC P0669
-
Transmission Control Module (TCM) Temperature Sensor Circuit High Voltage
Circuit/System Description
The transmission control module (TCM) temperature sensor is located inside of the control solenoid valve assembly, which has no serviceable components. The TCM temperature sensor provides the temperature of the TCM. This temperature reading is used in various shifting and diagnostic routines in the TCM software. This fault is handled inside the TCM and no external circuits are involved.
Conditions for Running the DTC

* Brake torque is not active.
* Engine speed is 400 RPM or greater for 5 seconds.
* Ignition voltage is 8.6 volts or greater.
* Engine torque signal is valid.
* Throttle position signal is valid.
P0668
* DTC P0668 is not set.
* Engine speed is 400 RPM or greater for 5 seconds.
* Ignition voltage is 8.6 volts or greater.
P0669
* DTC P0669, P0716, P0717, P0722, or P0723 is not set.
* Engine speed is 400 RPM or greater for 5 seconds.
* Ignition voltage is 8.6 volts or greater.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0667
* Difference between the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) and TCM substrate temperature is greater than 20-50°C (36-90°F), depending on the average of the TFT, TCM substrate and TCM power up temperatures.
* Difference between the TCM power up temperature and TCM substrate temperature is greater than 8-10°C (14-18°F) depending on the average of the TFT, TCM substrate and TCM power up temperatures.
* Above conditions have to be met for 5 minutes within a 6 minute period.
P0668
TCM temperature is -249°C (-416°F) or lower for 1 minute.
P0669
TCM temperature is 249°C (480°F) or greater for 1 minute.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTCs P0667, P0668, and P0669 are Type B DTCs.
* TCM defaults the TCM substrate temperature to the TCM power up temperature.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P0667, P0668, and P0669 are Type B DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
The TCM temperature sensor is located inside of the control solenoid valve assembly and its output should resemble that of the TFT sensor output.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Ignition ON
2. Verify the scan tool TCM Temperature parameter is between -249 and +249°C (-416 and +480°F).
• If not within the specified range
Replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly. Refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Replacement Service and Repair
• If within the specified range
3. Operate the vehicle at 64 km/h (40 mph) for 10 minutes. Verify the TCM Temperature parameter increases by greater than 2°C (3.5°F) and the TCM Temperature and the Transmission Fluid Temperature parameters are within 20°C (36°F) of each other.
• If the TCM Temperature parameter does not increase by greater than 2°C (3.5°F) or the TCM Temperature and Transmission Fluid Temperature parameters are not within 20°C (36°F)
Replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.
• If the TCM Temperature parameter increases by greater than 2°C (3.5°F) and the TCM Temperature parameter value is within 20°C (36°F) of the Transmission Fluid Temperature parameter
4. After performing the above steps, verify that the DTC does not reset by operating the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. If the vehicle passes the Circuit/System Verification procedure, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections.
