CHARGING
P1682-CHARGING SYSTEM VOLTAGE TOO LOW ÐContinued

since there is no power available to control the
transmission solenoids. However if power is re-
stored, the TCM will power-up and normal opera-
tion will be restored. This DTC identifies that
power to the TCM was restored when the gear
selector was in a9Drive9position while the vehicle
was moving at speeds above 32 Km/h (20 MPH). If
a person shifts to Neutral and cycles the ignition
key and quickly shifts to9Drive9while moving
before the TCM comes out of its START ROUTINE,
the DTC can be set. Therefore it is critical that this
DTC diagnosis repair procedure should only be used
if the vehicle is experiencing intermittent 2nd gear
operation and subsequently a return to normal
operation during normal driving.
Transmission Effects:No limp-in condition. The
DTC is for information only when trying to diagno-
sis intermittent 2nd gear operation and subse-
quently a return to normal operation.
Possible Causes:
± No Problem if vehicle is started in9neutral9at
speeds above 32 Km/h (20 MPH) and shifted
quickly to9Drive9before TCM comes out of the
START ROUTINE.
FOR INTERMITTENT 2ND GEAR OPER-
ATION AND THEN A SUBSEQUENT RE-
TURN TO NORMAL OPERATION WITH-
OUT CYCLING THE IGNITION KEY
± Intermittent Direct Battery connection be-
tween TCM (60-way pin 56) and battery.
± Intermittent Fused Ignition Switch Output
between TCM (60-way pin 11) and ignition
switch.
± Intermittent Ground to TCM (60 way pins 53
and 57).
Name of code:P1717(77) - No Communication
with Mechanical Instrument Cluster (MIC)
When monitored:Continuously with key on.
Set condition:If no PCI bus messages are received
from the Mechanical Instrument Cluster (MIC) for
25 seconds.
Theory of operation:The TCM communicates
with the MIC using the PCI bus. It relies on certain
information to function properly. The TCM contin-
uously monitors the PCI bus to check for messages
broadcast from the PCM.
Transmission Effects:Possible improper TCM
AutoStick configuration.
Possible causes:
> Open or shorted PCI bus circuit from MIC
> MIC
> TCM (If other communications codes are stored
in the TCM only)
Name of code:P0600(78) - Serial Communication
Link Malfunction
When monitored:Continuously with key on.
Set condition:If no PCI bus messages are received
by the Transmission Control Module (TCM) for 10
seconds.
Theory of operation:The TCM communicates
with the other modules in the vehicle using the PCI
bus. It relies on certain information to function
properly. The TCM continuously monitors the PCI
bus to check for messages broadcast from the cer-
tain modules.
Transmission Effects:Possible improper TCM
AutoStick configuration and delayed 3-4 shifts. No
EMCC and early 3-4 shifts for a few minutes after
engine is started.
Possible causes:
> Open or shorted PCI bus circuit from BCM
> TCM
Name of code:P1714(79) Low Battery Voltage
When monitored:Continuously with engine run-
ning and Transmission Relay energized.
Set condition:If the voltage sensed at the Trans-
mission Control Relay Output circuit (pins 16 and
17 at TCM) for 15 seconds.
Theory of operation:The Transmission system
requires sufficient battery voltage in order to ener-
gize the transmission solenoids. The TCM continu-
ously monitors the voltage available to the sole-
noids.
Transmission Effects:At speeds above 72 Km/h
(45 MPH) the transmission system will default to
neutral. Below 72 Km/h (45 MPH) the transmission
system will default to relay open limp-in mode.
Park, Reverse, and Neutral are still available.
Possible causes:
> Charging system problem
> Poor/High resistance connection between TCM
and Battery/Alternator
> TCM pin 16 and 17 high resistance or poor
connection
> TCM ground pins 53 and 57 high resistance or
poor connection
> High resistance in Transmission Control Relay
contacts
> TCM
3.3.8 QUICK LEARN
The Quick Learn function customizes adaptive
parameters of the TCM to the transmission charac-
teristics of a vehicle. This gives the customer im-
proved9as received9shift quality compared to the
initial parameters stored in the TCM.
Notes about Quick Learn Features
The nature of the Quick Learn function requires
that certain features must be taken into consider-
ation.
