DTC Descriptors
DTC P06AC
-
Transmission Control Module (TCM) Power Up Temperature Sensor Performance
DTC P06AD
-
Transmission Control Module (TCM) Power Up Temperature Sensor Circuit Low Voltage
DTC P06AE
-
Transmission Control Module (TCM) Power Up Temperature Sensor Circuit High Voltage
Circuit/System Description
The transmission control module (TCM) power up temperature sensor is located inside of the control solenoid valve assembly, which has no serviceable components. The TCM power up temperature sensor provides the temperature of the TCM when the TCM power is ON. This temperature reading is used in various shifting and diagnostic routines and also to protect the control solenoid valve assembly and TCM. This fault is handled inside the TCM and no external circuits are involved.

* DTC P06AE is not set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P06AC
* Difference between the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) and TCM power up 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 substrate temperature and TCM power up 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.
P06AD
TCM power up temperature is -59°C (-74°F) or lower for 1 minute.
P06AE
TCM power up temperature is 164°C (327°F) or greater for 1 minute.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTC P06AC, P06AD, P06AE are Type B DTCs.
* TCM defaults the TCM power up temperature to the TCM substrate temperature.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P06AC, P06AD, P06AE are Type B DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Operate the vehicle at 64 km/h (40 mph) for 10 minutes.
• If DTC P06AC, P06AD, or P06AE resets
Replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly. Refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Replacement Service and Repair.
• If DTC P06AC, P06AD, or P06AE does not reset
2. 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 you observe 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.
Repair Instructions
Note:
* Perform the Reset Transmission Adapts Reset Transmission Adapts 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.
