Limp Home Mode Description
If a major electrical system failure occurs which could affect vehicle safety or damage the transmission during normal
operation, the TCM enters a limp home mode. In the limp home mode, the transmission operates in the following
manner:
• The pressure control solenoid is off and the line pressure is at maximum to minimise clutch slippage.
• The TCC solenoid is off, therefore the torque converter clutch is disabled.
• The two shift solenoids are turned off. The transmission will operate in fourth gear if the vehicle has successfully
completed a 1-2 upshift in the current ignition cycle. If the vehicle has not completed a 1-2 upshift in the current
ignition cycle, the transmission will operate in third gear. If the transmission is operating in fourth gear, third gear
may be obtained if the engine is stopped briefly and re-started.
In limp home mode, the gear selector lever is ineffective at selecting forward gear ranges. In third or fourth gear, heat
builds up in the transmission quickly, particularly in stop and go traffic. Excessive heat build-up may cause transmission
failure if the vehicle is driven for extended distances in limp home mode.
1.3 Transmission Indicators and Messages
For information pertaining to the instrument cluster and the transmission information it displays, refer to the RA Rodeo
Owner Handbook.
1.4 Electronic Component Description
For all other electrical components not covered in this section, refer to General Motors Powertrain Group Electronically
Controlled Automatic Transmission Technician's Guide.
Transmission Control Module (TCM)
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is located under the instrument panel, next to the brake pedal assembly and
connects directly to the transmission wiring harness. A single 49-way connector is used to make the connection between
the vehicle wiring harness and the TCM.
To access the connector for diagnosis:
1 Ensure the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
2 Disconnect the connector (1) from the transmission control module (TCM) (2) as follows, refer to Figure 7C2 – 2: a remove the securing pin (3),
b press the locking tab and swing the lever (4) to free the connector,
c remove the connector.

4.10 DTC P0562 – System Voltage Low
DTC Description
This diagnostic procedure supports DTC P0562 System Voltage Low.
Circuit Description
The transmission control module (TCM) continuously monitors the system voltage on the battery and ignition circuits.
Lower than normal voltage may be inadequate to operate the transmission control solenoids properly. Improper solenoid
operation may cause erratic transmission operation and tie-up conditions, which may result in internal damage.

Conditions for Running the DTC
• No DTCs P0722, P0723, P0742, P2763 or P2764.
• The IMS range is D2, D3 or D4.
• Ignition voltage is 8 – 18 V.
• The transmission fluid temperature is greater than 20°C.
• The engine torque is 108 – 881 Nm.
• The throttle position is greater than 10 percent.
• The gear ratio is within the following ranges:

• 0.95:1 – 1.05:1 — 3rd gear.
• The TCC is commanded on 0.1 seconds.
• The TCC duty cycle is greater than 60 percent for more than 3 seconds.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The TCM commands the TCC on, and the TCC slip is greater than 250 r.p.m. for 3 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
•
The TCM requests the ECM to illuminate the MIL during the second consecutive drive trip in which the conditions
for setting the DTC are met.
• The TCM inhibits TCC.
• The TCM inhibits 4th gear if the transmission is in Hot Mode.
• The TCM commands elevated line pressure.
• The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.
• At the time of the first failure, the TCM records the operating conditions when the conditions for setting the DTC are
met. The TCM stores this information as a Failure Record.
• At the time of the second failure, the ECM records the operating conditions when the conditions for setting the DTC
are met. The ECM stores this information as a Freeze Frame.
• The TCM stores DTC P0741 in TCM history.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• The ECM turns off the MIL after the sixth consecutive drive trip in which the TCM does not send a MIL illumination
request.
• 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 default actions when the ignition is off long enough to power down the TCM.
Diagnostic Aids
• Inspect the transmission fluid lines to the radiator. The lines may be pinched, blocked or twisted.
• Contamination may cause the TCC apply valve to stick in the valve body.
• Internal damage to the torque converter may prevent TCC application.
