Circuit Description
Circuit A828 and X837 are the power supply feeds for transmission control module (TCM) keep-alive memory. The fused circuits supply constant voltage on terminals 26 and 54 of the TCM.
When the TCM detects that voltage has been interrupted on circuits A828 and X837, then DTC P1760 will set. DTC P1760 is a type C DTC.
Condition for Running the DTC
The ignition switch is in the RUN position.
Condition for Setting the DTC
The TCM detects a voltage interrupt.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The TCM flashes the sport mode lamp. |
| • | The ECM records the operating conditions in the Failure Records at the time of the request from the TCM. |
| • | The TCM memory stores the DTC at the time of the first failure. |
| • | The TCM will restore RAM values from the EEPROM memory. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A history DTC clears after forty consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are present by this diagnostic or any other emission related diagnostic. |
| • | The scan tool clears the DTC. |
| • | The TCM cancels the DTC default mode actions when the ignition switch is off long enough in order to power down the TCM. |
Diagnostic Aids
There may be no condition. If the power was interrupted for any reason, this DTC will set. Has the vehicles battery gone dead or required service recently? Has any other work been done that may have interrupted the power to the TCM? If no condition is found, the TCM may be the cause of the condition.
Use the J 35616 connector test adapter kit for any test that requires probing the TCM harness connector or a component harness connector. Using this kit will prevent damage to the harness connector terminals.
Check for the following conditions:
| • | Poor connections at the TCM. Inspect the harness connectors for any backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor terminal to wire connection. |
| Refer to General Electrical Diagnosis in Wiring Systems for proper procedure. |
| • | Damaged harness. Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the scan tool while moving any related connectors and any wiring harnesses. A change in the display may help to locate the fault. |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
A short to ground in circuit A828 would cause the Clamp 30 fuse to open.
-
Replace the TCM only after all other test procedures have been completed.
