DTC Descriptors
DTC P06AC
- Control Module Power Up Temperature Sensor Performance
DTC P06AD
- Control Module Power Up Temperature Sensor Circuit Low Voltage
DTC P06AE
- Control Module 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 in the TCM software. This fault is handled inside the TCM and no external circuits are involved.
Conditions for Running the DTC

* Throttle position signal is valid.
* Engine speed is 400-7500 RPM for 5 seconds.
* Ignition voltage is 9-32 V.
* Engine torque signal is valid.
P06AD
* DTC P06AD, P0716, P0717, P0722, or P0723 is not set.
* Engine speed is 400-7500 RPM for 5 seconds.
* Ignition voltage is 9-32 V.
P06AE
* Engine speed is 400-7500 RPM for 5 seconds.
* Ignition voltage is 9-32 V.
* DTC P06AE is not set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P06AC
* TCM detects the difference between the transmission fluid temperature and TCM power up temperature is greater than 20-50°C (36-90°F), depending on the average of the transmission fluid temperature, TCM substrate temperature, and TCM power up temperature.
* TCM detects the 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 transmission fluid temperature, TCM substrate temperature, and TCM power up temperature.
* Above conditions have to be met for 5 minutes within a 6 minute period.
P06AD
TCM power up temperature is -254°C (-425°F) or less for 1 minute.
P06AE
TCM power up temperature is 254°C (489°F) or greater for 1 minute.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTCs P06AC, P06AD, and P06AE are Type B DTCs.
* TCM defaults to a calculated TCM power up temperature based on the TCM substrate temperature.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P06AC, P06AD, and P06AE are Type B DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Ignition ON, clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
2. Operate the vehicle at 64 km/h (40 mph) for 10 minutes.
3. Verify with a scan tool that DTC P06AC, P06AD, or P06AE did not set.
• If a DTC sets
Replace the Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly.
• If a DTC does not set
4. Operate 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.
5. Verify the DTC does not set.
• If a DTC sets
Replace the Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly.
• If a DTC does not set
6. All OK
