9.16 DTC B0981 – 3rd Start Switch Signal
Malfunction
DTC Description
This diagnostic procedure supports DTC B0981 – 3rd Start Switch Signal Malfunction.
Circuit Description
The 3rd start mode switch is a normally open switch that closes when the switch is activated. W hen activated, the switch
supplies signal ground to the 3rd start ground signal circuit. The powertrain interface module (PIM) converts the signal
ground input into serial data, which is used by the automatic transmission control module (TCM) to enable or disable the
3
rd start mode, and by the instrument cluster to display power mode status.
Additional Information
• For the 4L60E automatic transmission, refer to 7C1 Automatic Transmission – 4L60E – General Information:
• Power mode switch description, operation and inspection procedure, and
• TCM wiring diagram.
• Refer to 6 W iring Diagram and Connector for the following information:
• PIM connector illustration and terminal assignment, and
• PIM wiring diagram.
• For intermittent fault conditions, refer to Intermittent Fault Conditions.
