OBD-296 On-Board Diagnostics _____________________________________________ Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0748 sets when the transmission control module (TCM) detects one of the following conditions: • A short to power • A short to ground • High or low resistance in PC solenoid A • High or low resistance in PC solenoid A wiring Action Taken When the DTC Sets • The TCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). • When in a forward range, the transmission fails to 1st, 3rd, or 5th range while diagnostic response is active. • If the shift selector is moved to NEUTRAL, the transmission will shift to NEUTRAL. • If the shift selector is moved to REVERSE, the transmission will shift to REVERSE, unless the transmission is compro- mised by a direction change, then the transmission will shift to or lock in NEUTRAL. • If the shift selector is returned to a forward range and the transmission is compromised by over speeding or direction change, the transmission will lock in NEUTRAL. • DTC P0748 will be stored in TCM history. • The TCM freezes shift adapts. • The TCM inhibits TCC engagement. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A scan tool can clear the code from TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle com- 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. • Solenoids are sensitive to battery voltage spikes and poor ground connections. This condition may not be indicated with your scan tool, or with a DVOM. • The installation of aftermarket devices such as remote starters may interfere with proper TCM voltage supply. • A faulty ignition switch may cause improper voltage supply to the TCM. • Power or ground corrosion may cause voltage variation. • Voltage may vary by 0.5 volts based on the state of charge in the battery. • PC solenoid A operates on 1,000 Hz and can be measured using a DVOM. |
