GENERAL INFORMATION

Symptom:
ENGINE TORQUE MESSAGE INCORRECT
When Monitored and Set Condition:
ENGINE TORQUE MESSAGE INCORRECT
When Monitored: Valid Torque CAN messages received at least once and CAN Bus
Circuit, Engine CAN Message Missing and Engine CAN Message Incorrect are not active.
Set Condition: Engine torque message not valid or PCM/ECM controller error.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
ENGINE DTCS PRESENT
PCM/ECM - ENGINE TORQUE MESSAGE INCORRECT
TCM - TORQUE MESSAGE INCORRECT
TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
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 DTCs. Check and repair all engine DTCs prior to
performing transmission symptom diagnostics.
With the DRBIIIt, read and record all Transmission DTCs.
NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary. Poor pin to terminal
connections can set DTCs.
Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
Repair as necessary.
Most DTCs 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 controller. Some problems are
corrected by software upgrades to the transmission controller.
NOTE: Check for any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
