Figure 7C2 – 2
The TCM is an electronic control module receiving input or providing output to control the operation of the 4L60E
automatic transmission.
The TCM receives the following inputs from the engine control module (ECM):
• engine speed and torque values,
• engine intake air temperature (IAT), accelerator pedal position (APP) information,
• engine coolant temperature (ECT),
• driver selected shift mode, and
• air-conditioning (A/C) status.
The ECM provides this data to the TCM through the databus.
Other TCM inputs are:
• battery and ignition voltage,
• brake switch status,
• transmission fluid temperature (TFT), and
vehicle speed sensor (VSS).
The TCM provides the following outputs to control the automatic transmission:
• shift solenoids to control transmission shifting,
• torque converter clutch (TCC) pulse width modulated (PW M) solenoid operation to control the apply and release of
the torque converter clutch assembly, and
• pressure control (PC) solenoid to regulate the transmission line pressure.
Other TCM outputs provided to the ECM / PIM are:
• MIL illumination request,
• vehicle speed,

Programming
If Programming is selected, a selection list is displayed which contains:
• Reset TAP Cells – This test allows the user to reset the Transmission Adapt (TAP) cells by pressing the Reset soft
key.
NOTE
Upon resetting the TAP cells the TCM loses all
learnt adaptive functions. When the vehicle is first
driven after this, the shifts may be harsh. This
harshness will ease as the TCM relearns the TAP
cells.

4.13 DTC P0711 to P0713 – Transmission
Fluid Temperature Sensor
DTC Description
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:
• DTC P0711 – Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor Performance,
• DTC P0712 – Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor Circuit Low Voltage, and
• DTC P0713 – Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor Circuit High Voltage.
Circuit Description
The automatic transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor is part of the automatic transmission fluid pressure (TFP)
manual valve position switch. The automatic TFT sensor is a negative coefficient thermistor. The transmission control
module (TCM) supplies a 5 volt reference signal to the sensor and measures the voltage drop in the circuit. W hen the
transmission fluid is cold, the sensor resistance is high and the TCM detects high signal voltage. As the fluid temperature
increases, the resistance of the sensor decreases, which lowers the signal voltage. This diagnostic monitors the TFT
circuit. The circuit may be functional, but not in the normal operating range. This diagnostic indicates stuck, erratic,
intermittent, skewed, or inaccurate values, indicating poor system performance. The TFT range is -40 – 151°C.
Refer to 2 W iring Diagrams and Connector Chart to aid in diagnosis.
Conditions for Running the DTC
DTC P0711
• No DTC P0117, P0118, P0722 or P0723.
• DTC P0711 has not passed in the current ignition cycle.
• The engine run time is greater than 5 seconds.
• The transmission fluid temperature is -39 – 149°C.
• For conditions 1 and 2 in Conditions for Setting the DTC, the engine coolant temperature is greater than 70°C and
has changed by at least 50°C since start-up.
• For conditions 1 and 2 in Conditions for Setting the DTC, the TCC slip speed is 120 r.p.m. or greater for
600 seconds (10 minutes) cumulatively.
DTC P0712
The engine run time is greater than 5 seconds.

• The TCC slip speed is greater than 120 r.p.m. for 200 seconds (3 minutes and 20 seconds) cumulative.
• The engine run time is greater than 5 seconds.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P0711
One of the following conditions occurs:
Condition 1
•
The transmission fluid temperature at start-up is -40 – 21°C.
• The vehicle speed is greater than 8 km/h for 900 seconds (15 minutes) cumulatively.
• The transmission fluid temperature has not changed by more than 2°C since start-up for 100 seconds (1 minute
and 40 seconds).
Condition 2
• The transmission fluid temperature at start-up is 129 – 150°C.
• The vehicle speed is greater than 8 km/h for 600 seconds (10 minutes) cumulatively.
• The transmission fluid temperature has not changed by more than 2°C since start-up for 100 seconds (1 minute
and 40 seconds).
Condition 3
The transmission fluid temperature has changed by 20°C or greater within 250 milliseconds and it has done this 14 times
within 7 seconds.
DTC P0712
The TCM detects a transmission fluid temperature of 150°C or more for 2 seconds.
DTC P0713
The TCM detects a transmission fluid temperature of -39°C or less for 25 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• The TCM does not request the engine control module (ECM) to illuminate the MIL.
• The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.
• The TCM calculates a default transmission fluid temperature based on engine coolant temperature, intake air
temperature and engine run time.
• The TCM records the operating conditions when the conditions for setting the DTC are met. The TCM stores this
information as a Failure Record.
• The TCM stores the DTC in TCM history.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
•
Tech 2 can clear the DTC.
• The TCM clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a non-emission-
related diagnostic fault occurring.
• The TCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the DTC passes.
