DTC Descriptors
DTC P0658
Actuator High Control Circuit Group 1 Low Voltage
DTC P0659
Actuator High Control Circuit Group 1 High Voltage
Circuit/System Description
The transmission control module (TCM) high side driver 1 is located inside of the control solenoid valve assembly, which has no serviceable components. The high side driver 1 provides power to the pressure control solenoids and shift solenoids. This fault is handled inside the TCM and no external circuits are involved.
Conditions for Running the DTC
P0658
- High side driver 1 is enabled.
- DTC P0658 is not set.
P0659
DTC P0659 is not set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0658
The TCM detects an internal open or short to ground in the high side driver 1 circuit for 1 second.
P0659
During TCM power-up and prior to the high side driver being enabled, the TCM detects an internal short to voltage on the high side driver 1 circuit a total of 3 times out of 5 consecutive readings.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
P0658
- DTC P0658 is a Type A DTC.
- The TCM turns the high side driver OFF.
- The TCM turns OFF all solenoids.
- The TCM commands maximum line pressure.
- The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.
- The TCM commands the torque converter clutch (TCC) OFF.
- The TCM inhibits Tap Up/Down function.
- The TCM inhibits manual shifting of forward gears.
- The TCM limits the transmission to Reverse and 5th gear operation.
P0659
DTC P0659 is a Type C DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
- DTC P0658 is a Type A DTC.
- DTC P0659 is a Type C DTC.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Ignition ON, verify with a scan tool the High Side Driver 1 parameter displays Enabled.
2. Engine Running, gear selector lever in Park position. Verify with a scan tool the following test status parameters displays OK:
- High Side Driver 1 Circuit Low Voltage Test Status
- High Side Driver 1 Circuit Open Test Status
- High Side Driver 1 Circuit High Voltage Test Status
3. After performing the above steps, verify that the DTC does not reset by operating the vehicle within the conditions for running fault codes (DTC). You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions you observe from the freeze frame/failure records. If the vehicle passes the circuit/system verification procedure, then stop. Do not perform the circuit/system test or component test as this may result in unnecessary part replacement. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Note
You must perform the Circuit/System Verification first.
Remove control solenoid valve assembly Q8 with ignition OFF. See Replacing control solenoid valve assembly and transmission control module.
2. Perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection. Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection
3. Place the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly on a clean work surface near the transmission assembly.
4. Connect the DT-47825-20 adapter harness between the vehicle wire harness X1 20-way transmission electrical connector, and the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly electrical connector.
5. Ignition ON, verify with a scan tool the following test status parameters display OK:
- High Side Driver 1 Circuit Low Voltage Test Status
- High Side Driver 1 Circuit Open Test Status
- High Side Driver 1 Circuit High Voltage Test Status
6. If any test status parameter displays Fault or Malfunction, replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.
Repair Instructions
Note
- Perform the Transmission Adaptive Values Learn following all transmission related repairs. Programming and Relearning
- 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 after completing the diagnostic procedure.
