DTC Descriptor

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

Circuit/System Description

When the shift lever is placed in the M position, electronic range select or manual mode, which allows for the selection of the range of gears available, is activated. This is also known as the tap shift function. The manual mode allows the vehicle operator to increase the highest range attainable by pressing the plus (+) button or decrease the highest attainable range by pressing the minus (-) button. The body control module (BCM) supplies a signal circuit to the shift controller. The shift controller has switches connected to a resistor array. A voltage drop occurs across the resistor network. When the plus or minus button is pushed, a corresponding voltage drop occurs across the resistor network. This voltage drop is monitored by the BCM. The BCM will send the request to the transmission control module (TCM) to increase or decrease the available gear ranges. The BCM internal counter increments each time the tap shift signal status is sent and the BCM sends the rolling count with the tap shift signal status. The TCM counter increments each time the tap shift signal status is received. The DTC will set if the rolling count value of the TCM does not match the rolling count sent from the BCM.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Engine speed is 400-7500 RPM for 5 seconds.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

TCM detects the internal rolling count value does not match the expected BCM count value, 3 or greater times within 10 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTC P1761 is a Type C DTC.

* TCM inhibits the Tap Up Tap Down function.

* TCM inhibits manual shifting of forward gears.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P1761 is a Type C DTC.

Circuit/System Verification

Note:

* DTC P1761 is an informational DTC.

* Diagnose all other body control module DTCs prior to DTC P1761.

1. Verify there are no other body control module or communication DTCs set.

• If a DTC is set
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle.

• If a DTC is not set

2. Complete the diagnosis by looking for a GMLAN circuit fault. Refer to Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with High Speed GMLAN Device Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with High Speed GMLAN Device.

• If a GMLAN circuit fault is found
Repair as necessary.

• If a GMLAN circuit fault is not found

3. All OK
