AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 5A-67 Table 6.1.3 - Diagnostic Trouble Messages Description / Cause There have been no faults recorded since the TCU was last cleared. If the fault history has never been cleared, then there have been no faults recorded since the TCU was originally powered up. There is an internal fault within the TCU. The voltage measured by the TCU corresponding to the battery sup- ply voltage has been outside the range of the maximum operating voltage of 16.5 volts. The minimum operating voltage depends on the transmission tem- perature but is typically between 8-9 V for a warm transmission. The voltage measured by the TCU from the throttle potentiometer has been outside acceptable levels. This would typically indicate a loose connection in the wiring to, or within, the throttle sensor which has caused the signal at the TCU to read 0V or 5V. The voltage measured by the TCU across the temperature Input ter- minals has been outside acceptable levels. This would typically be caused by a loose connection or short to ground in the wiring to, or within, the temperature sensor which has caused the signal at the TCU to read 0V or 5V. The voltage measured by the TCU across the shift lever input termi- nals has been outside acceptable levels for a significant length of time. This would typically be caused by a loose connection or short to ground in the wiring to, or within, the inhibitor switch which has caused the signal at the TCU to read 0V or 5V. The signal from the ignition, of ignition pulses, has either been non- existent or has been unreliable. There are two reasons this fault could occur. The first is due to a lack of ignition pulses when other TCU inputs would indicate that the en- gine is running, that is the gear lever is in a driving position, the throttle is applied and vehicle speed increasing. The second cause of this (aunt is the frequency of the pulses of the ignition pulse input to the TCU indicate an unachievable engine speed. The pulses from the shaft speed sensor have either been non-exis- tent or have been unreliable. There are three reasons this fault could occur. The first is due to a sudden loss of speedometer pulses at a time when they were fre quent, thus indicating an unachievable degree of deceleration of the drive line. The second cause of this fault is that the frequency of the pulses on the shaft speed sensor input to the TCU indicate an unachievable propeller shaft speed. The third is the presence of a high engine speed in a driving gear with no speedometer pulses.
