4JX1–TC ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1589 (Flash DTC 47) 

Transmission SW Circuit Open/Short

060RW131

Circuit Description

The trans mission SW circuit receives current through
ELEC IG 10A fuse from the battery, current flowing in the
order of the trans mission SW and ECM.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

D

The ECM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) the first time the fault is detected.

D

The ECM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

D

DTC P1589 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the ECM battery
feed.

Diagnostic Aids

Check for the following conditions:

D

Poor connection at ECM – Inspect harness connectors
for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal-to-wire connection.

D

Damaged harness – Inspect the wiring harness for
damage.  If the harness appears to be OK, observe the
throttle position display on the Tech 2 while moving
connectors and wiring harnesses related to the TP
sensor.  A change in the display will indicate the
location of the fault.

If DTC P1589 cannot be duplicated, the information
included in the Failure Records data can be useful in
determining vehicle mileage since the DTC was last set.

Symptom Diagnosis

Preliminary Checks

Before using this section, perform the “On–Board
Diagnostic (OBD) System Check” and verify all of the
following items:

D

The powertrain control module (ECM) and
malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) (CHECK ENGINE
lamp) are operating correctly.

D

There are no DTC(s) stored.

D

Tech–2 data is within normal operating range.  Refer
to 

Typical Scan Data Values.

D

Verify the customer complaint and locate the correct
symptom in the table of contents.  Perform the
procedure included in the symptom chart.

Visual/Physical Check

Several of the symptom procedures call for a careful
visual/physical check.  This can lead to correcting a
problem without further checks and can save valuable
time.
This check should include the following items:

D

ECM grounds for cleanliness, tightness and proper
location.

D

Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks, and proper
connections, as shown on the “Vehicle Emission
Control Information” label.  Check thoroughly for any
type of leak or restriction.

D

Air intake ducts for collapsed or damaged areas.

D

Injector wires for cracking, hardness, and carbon
tracking.

D

Wiring for proper connections, pinches and cuts.

Intermittents

IMPORTANT:

An intermittent problem may or may not

turn on the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) or store a
DTC.  DO NOT use the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
charts for intermittent problems.  The fault must be
present to locate the problem.
Most intermittent problems are caused by faulty electrical
connections or wiring.  Perform a careful visual/physical
check for the following conditions:

D

Poor mating of the connector halves or a terminal not
fully seated in the connector (backed out).

D

Improperly formed or damaged terminal.

D

All connector terminals in the problem circuit should
be carefully checked for proper contact tension.

D

Poor terminal–to–wire connection.  This requires
removing the terminal from the connector body to
check.

Road test the vehicle with a Digital Multimeter
(5-8840-0285-0) connected to a suspected circuit.  An
abnormal voltage when the malfunction occurs is a good
indication that there is a fault in the circuit being
monitored.
Use a scan tool to help detect intermittent conditions.  The
scan tools have several features that can be used to
locate an intermittent condition.  Use the following feature
to find intermittent faults:

D

Using a Tech–2 “Freeze Frame” buffer or “Failure
Records” buffer can aid in locating an intermittent
condition.  Review and record the information in the
freeze frame or failure record associated with the
intermittent DTC being diagnosed.  The vehicle can
be driven within the conditions that were present
when the DTC originally set.

To check for loss of diagnostic code memory, disconnect
the MAP sensor and idle the engine until the MIL (CHECK
ENGINE lamp) comes on.  DTC P0107 should be stored
and kept in memory when the ignition is turned “OFF.”  If
not, the ECM is faulty.  When this test is completed, make
sure that you clear the DTC P0107 from memory.
An intermittent MIL (CHECK ENGINE lamp) with no
stored DTC may be caused by the following:

D

MIL (CHECK ENGINE lamp) wire to ECM shorted to
ground.

D

Poor ECM grounds.  Refer to the ECM wiring
diagrams.

Check for improper installation of electrical options such
as lights, cellular phones, etc.
Check for an open diode across the A/C compressor
clutch and check for other open diodes (refer to wiring
diagrams in 

Electrical Diagnosis).

If problem has not been found, refer to 

ECM Connector

Symptom tables.
