Automatic Transmission (AJ16) 
TORQUE REDUCTION  SIGNAL - P 1780 
The diagnostic  for this signal is  based entirely on  feedback from the ECM. If the torque reduction  request is active  for 
greater  than 2 seconds,  the ECM  starts  the torque reduction fault timeout (IO seconds). If the signal returns  to the 
standby  condition  within this time,  the timeout  is reset. If the timeout  matures then the  ECM stores a fault code and 
transmits  93% on the torque signal line  and also lights the MIL  where necessary. 
The  ECM  will also initiate the torque reduction fault timeout 
if the signal  line is permanently high or  low for greater 
than 125ms. The  conditions  for resetting the timeout  and the actions  if the timeout  matures are the  same  as previously 
described  above. When the  TCM receives  the correct  indication on the torque signal  line, this fault  code  will be stored 
and 
a substitute function  will be adopted  and the warning  lamp will be illuminated.  The engine management  will send 
normal torque signal when the torque reduction signal returns  to standby or when the  ignition is reset. 
This torque reduction signal is  used during  gearshifts  to conveythe  actual amount  of retard  to be  applied  to the  ignition 
advance angle 
afterthe other  trims.  The signal idles at 17%  (or 12% if theTCM wishes  to drive the MIL  on), and changes 
to  20% at the  start  of a gearshift. This represents 0" retard. When  an amount of retard  is required, the PWM  will increase 
to  the  desired  value (between  20% and 90%)  and return  to 20%  and then  to idle  state at the end  of the  shift.

TORQUE SIGNAL MALFUNCTION - P 1781 
The torque signal  is a PWM signal  from the ECM  to the  TCM  which  conveys  information  about the actual  torque  devel- oped by the engine  in the range 0 to 510Nm. The  base  frequency is 91Hz and the  signal which is  active low should  be 
within  the range  10% to 90%  modulation.  The torque signal is monitored continuously during initialization  and oper
- ation.  If  the frequency  of the  signal is  incorrect or  the signal is out of  range, then this fault  code will be flagged.  The 
TCM  will adopt a substitute function  and the warning lamp  will be illuminated.  This fault  code  will only  be flagged if the  engine  speed is above 448 rpm.

Possible causes: 
. Faulty harness wiring I connector. 
. Faulty signal from ECM. 
Effects: 
. Transmission  warning lamp illuminated. 
Substitute torque  signal adopted by TCM. 
. =Normal mode only  available. 
. No kickdown  facility. 
. Maximum  fluid pressure applied. 
Remedy: 
. Repair  or renew  harness / connector. 
Examine  ECM fault  diagnosis  (refer to EDM,  section  5.1).
