Symptom:
P1739-POWER UP AT SPEED
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P1739-POWER UP AT SPEED
When Monitored: When TCM (Transmission Control Module) initially powers-up.
Set Condition: If the TCM powers up and senses a valid forward gear PRNDL DTC and
the Output RPM is above 800 RPM (approximately 32 Km/h or 20 MPH) then the DTC will
set.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
POWER UP AT SPEED
TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1 This DTC is set when the TCM is initialized while the vehicle is moving down the
road in a valid forward gear.
Check all of the Fused B+, Fused Ignition Switch Output, and Ground circuits to the
TCM for an intermittent open or short to ground.

Symptom:
P1765-SWITCHED BATTERY
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P1765-SWITCHED BATTERY
When Monitored: Ignition key is turned from the OFF position to RUN position and/or
ignition key is turned from the CRANK position to RUN position.
Set Condition: This DTC is set if the Transmission Control Module senses voltage on any
of the Pressure Switch Inputs prior to the TCM energizing the Transmission Control Relay.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
INTERMITTENT WIRING AND CONNECTORS
2-4 PRESSURE SWITCH SENSE CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE
L/R PRESSURE SWITCH SENSE CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE
OD PRESSURE SWITCH SENSE CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE

1NOTE: Low fluid level can be the cause of many Transmission problems. If
the fluid level is low locate and repair the leak then check and adjust the
fluid level per the Service Information.
NOTE: Always perform diagnostics with a fully charged battery to avoid
false symptoms.
With the DRBIIIt, read the engine DTC's. Check and repair all engine DTC's prior
to performing Transmission Symptom Diagnostics.
With the DRBIIIt, read Transmission DTC's. Record all DTC's and 1 Trip Failures.
NOTE: Diagnose 1 Trip Failures as a fully matured DTC.
Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
Repair as necessary.
Perform the Shift Lever Position Test. If the test does not pass, refer to Symptom test
for P0705 Check Shifter Signal.
For Gear Ratio DTC's, check and record all CVI's.
Most DTC's set on start up but some must be set by driving the vehicle such that all
diagnostic monitors have run.
NOTE: Verify flash level of Transmission Control Module. Some problems
are corrected by software upgrades to the Transmission Control Module.
NOTE: Check for applicable TSB's related to the symptom.
Perform this procedure prior to Symptom diagnosis.All
