2001 CHRYSLER VOYAGER ECO mode

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-

GENERAL INFORMATION

4.3 WARNINGS
4.3.1 VEHICLE DAMAGE WARNINGS
Before disconnecting any control module, make
sure the ignition is ªoffº. Failure to do so could
damage the module.
When testing voltage or continuity at any control
module, use the terminal side (not the wire end) of
the connector. Do not probe a wire through the
insulation; this will damage it and eventually cause
it to fail because of corrosion.
Be careful when performing electrical tests so as
to prevent accidental shorting of terminals. Such
mistakes can damage fuses or components. Also, a
second code could be set, making diagnosis of the
original problem more difficult.
4.3.2 ROAD TEST COMPLAINT VEHICLE
Some complaints will require a test drive as part
of the repair verification procedure. The purpose of
the test drive is to try to duplicate the diagnostic
code or symptom condition.
CAUTION: BEFORE ROAD TESTING A
VEHICLE, BE SURE THAT ALL
COMPONENTS ARE REASSEMBLED.
DURING THE TEST DRIVE, DO NOT TRY TO
READ THE DRBIIITSCREEN WHILE IN
MOTION. DO NOT HANG THE DRBIIITFROM
THE REAR VIEW MIRROR OR OPERATE IT
YOURSELF. HAVE AN ASSISTANT
AVAILABLE TO OPERATE THE DRBIIIT.
Road testing is an essential step in the diagnostic
process that must not be overlooked. Along with
diagnostic information obtained from the DRBIIIt
Scan Tool and the original customer concern, the
road test helps to verify the problem and observe
operation under actual vehicle driving conditions.
Just as important as the road test is, there are
preliminary inspections that should be carried out
prior to the road test. Always check the fluid level
and condition before going on a road test or per-
forming other tests. Also try to determine the type
of fluid being used. Improper fluid can result in
problems. Additionally, a variety of complaints can
be caused by incorrect fluid level. Some of the
conditions caused by incorrect fluid level are as
follows:
²Delayed engagement
²Poor shifting or erratic shifts
²Excessive noise
²Overheating
The next step is to verify that the shift linkage is
correctly adjusted. If the gearshift linkage is incor-rectly adjusted because of wear or incorrect adjust-
ment, a number of complaints can result.
The TCM monitors the Shift Lever Position (SLP)
Sensor at all times. If the linkage is incorrectly
adjusted, the TCM may sense a shift lever position
that is not correct for the gear range chosen by the
driver. This may cause diagnostic trouble codes to
be set and a possible limp-in situation.
The following complaints may also be the result
of an incorrectly adjusted or worn linkage.
²Delayed clutch engagement or erratic shifts
²Vehicle able to drive in Neutral
²Engine not able to crank in Park or Neutral
²Gearshift linkage able to be shifted without the
key in the ignition
²Not able to remove the ignition key in Reverse
²Parking pawl not engaging
The shift linkage should also be adjusted when
replacing the transaxle, repairing the valve body or
repairing any component between the shift lever
and the transaxle.
Some questions to ask yourself when considering
the road test are listed below:
²Is the complaint or concern what you think it is,
based the driver 's description of the problem?
²Is the transaxle operating normally, or is there a
real problem?
²When does the malfunction occur?
²Is the problem in only one gear range?
²What temperature does the complaint occur?
²Is the transaxle in limp-in mode?
4.3.3 ELECTRONIC PINION FACTOR
WARNINGS
The pinion factor must be set for all new trans-
mission control modules. If the pinion factor is not
set or if it is set incorrectly, any speedometer, speed
control, rolling door locks, and other devices that
are operated by the powertrain and body controllers
will not function properly.
