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.

broken or weak L/R clutch return spring, Accumulator Spring, and/or dislocated snap ring could cause
this problem.

5.VERIFY PCM OPERATION
NOTE: The TRANS TEMP DEG must be at least 43° C or 110° F before performing thefollowing steps.
Perform eight learnable starts. A learnable start is defined as follows: Start engine. From a standstill, accelerate
lightly to 80 Kmh or 50 MPH, then brake lightly to a stop. Turn off engine.
With the scan tool, record the CL VOL INDEX (CVI) for all clutches
With the scan tool, perform a BATTERY DISCONNECT.
With the scan tool, read the CVI’s and compare them to the readings recordedbefore the BATTERY DISCONNECT.
Are any of the CVI’s less than 5 or different than before the BATTERY DISCONNECT?
Ye s>>
Using the schematics as a guide, check the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)terminals for corrosion,
damage, or terminal push out. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits. If no problems
are found, replace the PCM per the Service Information. With the scan tool,perform QUICK LEARN.
