AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4L30-E) 7 A-121
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 51
ENGINE COOLANT SWITCH SHORT TO GROUND, PLUS OR OPEN
• This DTC can be set when there is no problem at
all. This is due to the fact that when the engine
stalls the ignition is still ON then Engine Control
Module (ECM) provides a false information:
engine cold. The Transmission Control Module
(TCM), knowing that the last ignition cycle
happened more than 20 minutes ago, then sets
DTC51.
• Check voltage between connector C-91 terminal 014 and connector C-91 terminal C1 (TCM ground). • Ignition switch ON. Engine ON. Engine warm. IF: Voltage higher than 5 volts:
•
There is a short circuit to voltage.
•
Repair.
• Using the Scan Tool you can check with TECH1:
FO: ENG. TEMP. SW information. When the
engine is
cold or when the engine is OFF the
TECH1 should show: COLD. When the engine is
warm the TECH1 should show WARM.
• This DTC is not very important. In the worst case
it would not allow the Torque Converter Clutch
(TCC) to be applied. This will cause low fuel
economy.
There is not currently a problem. GOTO INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS.
• This is an open circuit or the ECM is not sending the correct information. See also ECM information, SeetiQR 6E.
• Voltage approx. 0 volts means that the signal is OK or that
there is a short circuit to ground. • Repair.
There is
not currently a problem. GOTO INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS.
• Turn the engine OFF with the ignition ON. IF: The voltage goes back to 5
volts:
•
As the voltage is staying at 0 volts, there is a short to ground. • Repair.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 52
KICK DOWN ALWAYS ON OR SHORT TO GROUND
This DTC does NOT flash the CHECK TRANS
indicator and does
NOT set the BACKUP MODE.
Circuit Description:
• When the driver presses the accelerator pedal
down fully, the kick down switch closes, sending
a
ground signal to the Transmission Control
Module (TCM).
• This information is used to do shifts with a high
Engine Speed RPM.
• When the kick down switch is closed the Throttle
Position Sensor (TPS) is already at 100%.
Diagnostic Aids:
• This diagnostic is not an electrical test done by
the TCM but a test between different information
("logic test").

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 53
MODE SWITCH IN P OR N OR R BAD POSITION
This DTC does NOT flash the CHECK TRANS
indicator and does NOT set the BACKUP MODE.
Circuit Description:
• The mode switch supplies the Transmission
Control Module (TCM) with information regard
ing
the selector lever position: P, R, N, D, 3, 2 or
L. The selector lever position is indicated by the
state
of four ON/OFF contacts. The mode switch
is located on one side of the transmission. It is
on
the transmission manual shaft and is fixed to
the main case.
• The mode switch is also used to provide the
information P or N to the engine crank wiring.
The engine can be cranked only if connector C-43
terminal 4(H) is connected to terminal 1(E), which
is connected to ground.
• The mode switch is also used to provide the back
up lamp power in reverse. This is the reason
why the mode switch is supplied through a 15A
fuse
(C-3). This fuse can burn due to short circuit
in the back up lamp.
•
When this fuse is open, the mode switch does
not work and DTC54 is set.
• The mode position is defined by the shift linkage
which is a link between the shift lever and the
mode switch. A bad adjustment of the shift link
age can create a mode switch problem (DTC53).
Diagnostic Aids:
• This Diagnostic is not an electrical test done by
the TCM but a test between different information
("logic test").
•
Detection conditions of P or N bad position:
CD A/T Input Speed <3000 RPM
0 TPS > 20%
@ Mode Switch = P or N
® No malfunction: TPS short to voltage or
ground (DTC21, DTC22), Engine Speed
(DTC13).
® The conditions need to be present for at least
4 seconds.
• Action after the detection time: Default position
assumed for pressure calculation and shift
pattern =always in D.
• Recovery Conditions: To recover, have the
engine speed higher than 3000 RPM with a TPS
higher than 20% when the mode switch is not in
PorN.
• Detection conditions of R bad position:
CD A/T Output Speed> approx. 100 KPH
0 Mode Switch= R
@ No malfunction: Output speed (DTC11).
Downshift Protection (DTC62).
® The conditions need to be present for at least
4 seconds.
• Action aft,:H the detection time: Default position
assumed for pressure calculation and shift
pattern = always in D.
• Recovery conditions: To recover, have the output
speed hi~1her than 100 KPH when the mode
switch is not R.

BRAKE SWITCH SHORT TO GROUND OR OPEN
This DTC does NOT flash the CHECK TRANS
indicator and does NOT set the BACKUP MODE.
Circuit Description:
• The brake switch is a switch on the brake pedal
that is used to provide the information: brakes
are
applied. This is used by different features:
cruise control, stop
light and Transmission
Control Module (TCM).
•
The TCM uses the information (brakes applied)
mainly to release the Torque Converter Clutch
(TCC).
•
The brake switch input is constantly connected to
battery when the pedal is pressed. TCM terminal
D9 is connected to Voltage.
• The brake switch input is opened when the pedal
is released.
TCM terminal D9 is grounded.
