DTC P26C3:  Internal SBW Shifter Control Module Performance

The transmission control module (TCM) and the SBW shifter control module (integrated with the SBW shifter assembly) are connected with a communication line (F-CAN A and F-CAN D). For shift position switching control, the shift position signal from the SBW shifter control module via F-CAN D is used for main signal, and the shift position signal from the SBW shifter control module via F-CAN A is used for back-up signal. When PinSW1 and PinSW2 input signal logic do not match (PinSW1 ON and PinSW2 OFF or PinSW1 OFF and PinSW2 ON) during accelerations and decelerations, or input information from the switch input circuit is abnormal while shifting to R, N, or D switch, the TCM receives malfunction from the SBW shifter control module, and stores a DTC.
