P1876
DTC P1876
TAP Shift Circuit Performance:
Circuit Description
The transmission adaptive pressure (TAP) Shift system allows the driver to manually shift gears by using the TAP Shift switches located on the Automatic Transmission Shifter. Pushing the Up switch will command an upshift and pushing the Down switch will command a downshift. The TAP Shift system is activated when the gear selector is in the D3 position and is deactivated in all other positions.
If the transmission control module (TCM) detects TAP enable switch Active and the TR switch indicates D4, DTC P1876 sets. DTC P1876 is a type C DTC.
