P1684-BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
When Monitored:
Whenever the ignition is in the Run/Start position.
Set Condition:
This DTC will set whenever Powertrain Control Module is disconnected fromFused B(+) or ground. It will also
be set using the scan tool to perform a Battery Disconnect and/or Quick Learn procedure.
Possible Causes
BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED
SCAN TOOL BATTERY DISCONNECT PERFORMED
PCM WAS REPLACED OR DISCONNECTED
QUICK LEARN WAS PERFORMED
Always perform the 45RFE/545RFE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure before proceeding. (Refer to
21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
The PCM uses a battery backed RAM (Random Access Memory) is used to maintainsome learned values. When
the battery B(+) is disconnected, the memory is lost. When the B(+) is restored, this memory loss is detected by the
Transmission Control System. The DTC is set and the learned values are initialized to known constants or previ-
ously learned values from EEPROM (Electronic Erasable Programmable ReadOnly Memory). This results in the
reinitialization of some parameters.
Diagnostic Test
1.POSSIBLE CAUSES
This DTC is an informational DTC only.
This DTC is set due to a momentary loss of power and/or the ground circuits tothe PCM.
Below are a list of possible causes associated with this DTC.
Battery was disconnected.
The BATTERY DISCONNECT feature on the scan tool was performed.
The QUICK LEARN feature on the scan tool was performed.
PCM was replaced or disconnected.
Were any of the above possible causes performed?
Ye s>>
This is the cause of the DTC. Erase the DTC and return vehicle to customer.

P1715-RESTRICTED MANUAL VALVE IN T3 RANGE
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W
When Monitored:
Whenever the PRNDL code indicates Temp 3.
Set Condition:
This DTC sets when conditions for the DTC P1776 are satisfied or 3 unsuccessful attempts to engage 1st gear
while the shifter is in the temp 3 zone. This indicates a restricted port at the manual valve because the shifter
is not fully engaged in the drive position.
Possible Causes
RELATED TRANSMISSION DTC’S PRESENT
CUSTOMER DRIVING HABITS
MISADJUSTED SHIFTER
Always perform the 45RFE/545RFE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure before proceeding. (Refer to
21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Diagnostic Test
1.DETERMINING IF RELATED DTC’S ARE PRESENT
With the scan tool, check for other transmission DTC’s
Are any of the following DTC’s P0731, P0732, P0733, P0734, P1736 or P0715 present?
Ye s>>
Refer to the Transmission category and perform the appropriate symptom.
No>>
Go To 2
2.CHECK SHIFTER ADJUSTMENT
Check Shifter adjustment per the Service Information.
Is the shifter properly adjusted?
Ye s>>
Go To 3
No>>
Adjust the Shifter Assembly per the Service Information.
Perform 45RFE/545RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. (Refer to 21- TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
3.CHECK CUSTOMER DRIVING HABIT
This DTC can be set if the customer rests their hand on the shift lever while they are driving. The transmission can
be put in the T3 position if just enough forward pressure is exerted on the shift lever.
When this occurs, the feed port to the clutch is restricted, the transmission will declare neutral, and this DTC will be
set. The customer should be informed not to rest their hand on the shifter while driving.
This DTC can also be set by simply bumping the shift lever toward neutral while accelerating.
With the scan tool, check the DTC EVENT DATA to help identify the conditionsin which the DTC was set.
If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.
Repair
This DTC can be set by putting too much forward pressure on the shift lever while it is in the OD posi-
tion. Make sure the customer is informed.
