8.1.4 FA U1 T DIAGNOSIS 
Transmission  Control System Electrical - P 0702 (Fig. 1) 
This fault  code  is associated  with the internal relay of the  Transmission Control Module, (TCM). This relay  provides a 
means  of isolating the  electro-mechanical, controlling, solenoids from the supply,  allowing the transmission  to revert 
to a mechanical  default condition. 
The  relay and  associated  circuitry is tested once during initialization  and whenever 
a hardware reset occurs. When  the 
ignition  is first  switched on the  TCM carries  out an initialization routine. During  this routine the  processor drives the 
relay 
ON then  tests  for the  supply voltage  on the output via a feedback  path. If the supply voltage  is not  seen  within 
a  specific  time then 
a fault  is flagged  and the TCM  will run in default mode  and this fault  code  will be stored. 
A set  time  after the relay is turned  on, it is turned off and  the processor  then tests  for the supply  again. If it is still  present, 
then the  TCM will run in default mode and this fault  code will be stored. 
U: The  ignition  supply voltage  must be greater  than 8V for a fault code  to be  stored. If this  fault is permanently 
flagged,  the TCM  should  be replaced  taking care to obtain the correctly programmed variant. 
Possible causes: 
Faulty  TCM internal  relay. 
Effects: 
. MIL illuminated. 
. Transmission  warning lamp illuminated. 
. Maximum fluid pressure  applied. 
Limp home mode  applied. 
. RenewTCM.

TRANSMISSION  RANGE SENSOR - P 0705 / P 0706 
The rotary switch  is located on the  LH side  of the  transmission.  The harness incorporates  the transmission  wiring and 
runs  into the car through  the a hole in the  LH side  of the  tunnel.  The connectors GBOOI and GB002 are located  on the 
side  of the  selector mechanism ‘J’ gate  assembly. 
TRANSMISSION  RANGE SENSOR  CIRCUIT - P 0705 
This test is  performed continuously  by the  background diagnostics  during operation.  The test  is a plausibility  check 
on  the 3 bit  Gray  code.  The test criteria is  that an invalid code must not be  seen. If a Z code is  seen for more than looms, 
then this fault  code will be stored and  the transmission  will adopt  the default function. 
TRANSMISSION  RANGE SENSOR  CIRCUIT RANGE/  PERFORMANCE - P 0706 
This is a plausibilitycheck on the 3 bit Gray  code  which  is only  performed  once during  cranking when  the engine  speed 
reaches 
a specific threshold. If the  gear  is not  P or N  when this test  is performed,  then this fault code  will be flagged 
and  the transmission  will adopt  the default function.

OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR - P 0721 / P 0722 
The output  speed sensor is located  on the  rear  of thevalve block  assembly  inside the transmission. Connection  is made 
via  pins  A and F of  the %way transmission connector located  on the left hand side  of the transmission  assembly. The 
wiring  runs through  the rotary  switch  harness  and the vehicle gearbox  harness to the  TCM  on pins 2 and  38 of the 55 way multi-plug.  These  wires are shielded by a screen  which is terminated  on pin  20 of the  TCM multi-plug.  The sensor 
detects  the motion of  the output shaft via a 36 toothed  wheel.

OUTPUT  SPEED SENSOR  CIRCUIT  RANGE/  PERFORMANCE - P 0721 
This test is  only performed  when a downshift takes place  and therefore the vehicle must  be in a forward gear ie D, 3, 2, 1. A fault  will be flagged  if the  engine  speed is above a threshold  which is dependant  on the shift  and the state of the  lock  up clutch. 
This  fault  code  would  suggest  that there  is  an intermittent fault  in the  circuit. 
OUTPUT  SPEED SENSOR  CIRCUIT  NO SIGNAL - P 0722 
The  background diagnostic software continuously  monitors the output speed and flags  this fault if the output  speed 
is  zero  when  the engine  speed is greater  than 2000 rpm and a forward  gear, D, 3,2,1, is selected. 
This  fault  code  would  suggest 
a permanent fault, either open circuit, short  to ground or  short circuit  to battery  positive 
voltage (+12V nominal).

ENGINE SPEED INPUT - P 0726 / P 0727 
The engine  speed input signal is a square wave  output from the ECM.  The signal is 12 volt  active  high with a duty cycle 
of 50" / 120" of  crankshaft  revolution ie 3 pulses per  revolution.  The frequency of  the signal  is proportional  to engine 
speed.

Engine  speed is continuously monitored by the  background diagnostics. This fault is flagged if the  engine  speed ex- 
ceeds the maximum  speed threshold (approx 6800 rpm). This fault  code  would  suggest  an intermittent fault  in the cir- cuit. 
ENGINE  SPEED INPUT CIRCUIT  NO SIGNAL - P 0727 
If the  engine  speed drops below 95 rpm and the selected  gear is not P or N, then the  TCM will initiate the default  mode. 
This  fault  code  will only  be stored if the output  speed is greater  than 300 rpm.  This is to prevent  spurious flagging  of 
codes if the  engine stalls. 
Possible causes: 
. Faulty harness  wiring 1 connectors. 
. Faulty signal from ECM. 
Effects:

. Transmission  warning lamp illuminated. 
. Maximum  fluid pressure  applied. 
. Limp home mode  applied.

SOL ENOlD VALVES 
The following  tests are performed continuously  by a background  task. If a fault  is detected, it is filtered for a set period. 
When  filtering  ends a fault  code is stored in the TCM  and action  is taken  to ensure  the integrity  of the  system. 
During  limp home  mode the internal  relay is turned 
off to  remove  the supply  to the  solenoids  and the gearbox with default  to fourth  gear (if aforward  gear is alreadyselected) and third  gear (if P.R.N.). Selecting  N and  then D will engage 
3rd  gear  only. 
Each  test checks  that the feedback  from the output  stage module  is consistent 
with the  driven  state of the  solenoid 
output,  detects short circuit to ground,  short circuit to battery voltage and open  circuit.

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.

TP SIGNAL  SYSTEM  RANGE/  PERFORMANCE - P 1790 
The throttle  signal is a pulse  width  modulated (pwm) input which runs at a constant frequency  of 183 Hz the information is contained  in the duty  cycle of the signal. If this  information  is out of range,  that is, the  duty cycle  is less  than  5% or 
greater  than 94%, then the  TCM will use a substitute  throttle value of  47% and will light  the warning lamp  and this fault code  will be stored.  During cranking,  this signal  is used  to convey  the engine coolant temperature.  The coolant  tem- perature signal  persistsfor 500 msec after reaching  the engine  run threshold  of 400  rpm.  If theTCM does not recognise a valid  throttle  angle signal  afterthis time  then a substitute throttle value (47%) will be used  and the warning lamp  will 
be 
lit and  this  fault  code  will be stored.  A fault code will only  be stored if the  engine  speed is greater  than 400 rpm. If an out  of range coolant temperature  is received  then a substitute coolant temperature value (77" C) is used  but no fault is stored.
