Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The auxiliary transmission fluid pump is an electrical device that is used with the auxiliary transmission fluid pump relay to maintain transmission fluid line pressure to the transmission during Engine Idle Off mode. The auxiliary transmission fluid pump attaches to the transmission side cover assembly. The auxiliary transmission fluid pump relay receives voltage through the battery positive voltage circuit. The starter generator control module (SGCM) controls the auxiliary pump by providing the ground path on the auxiliary pump relay control circuit. The SGCM monitors the auxiliary transmission fluid pump relay control circuit voltage.

When the SGCM detects a continuous open or short to ground in the auxiliary transmission pump circuit, then DTC P2796 sets. DTC P2796 is a type B DTC.
