P0882



DTC P0882

Circuit Description
The transmission control module (TCM) requires direct battery voltage to operate properly.

DTC P0882 is a type C DTC.

DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC P0882 Transmission Control Module (TCM) Power Input Signal Low

Conditions for Running the DTC
Engine speed is greater than 400 RPM for 5 seconds.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P0882 sets when the TCM detects a battery direct voltage below 8 volts at 0°C (32°F) for a total of 5 out of 7 seconds. The voltage threshold is temperature dependent varying from 5 volts at -60° C (-75°F) to 9 volts at 20° C (68°F).

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The TCM does not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
^ Hydraulic default is commanded. Shift selector position and hydraulic state of logic valves determine range.
^ The TCM inhibits main modulation.
^ The TCM inhibits torque converter clutch (TCC) engagement.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
A scan tool can clear the code from TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 Warm-up cycles without failure.

Diagnostic Aids
^ Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM. Inspect for the following conditions:
^ A bent terminal
^ A backed-out terminal
^ A damaged terminal
^ Poor terminal tension
^ A chafed wire
^ A broken wire inside the insulation
^ When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change.
^ You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a condition.
^ A defective vehicle battery may allow this DTC to set. Test the vehicle battery to verify proper voltage and load capacity.
^ A defective vehicle charging system may cause this DTC to set.
