Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The electric transmission fluid auxiliary pump is used to keep the transmission engaged when the engine is stopped and the transmission is in drive. The electric transmission fluid auxiliary pump has an internal microprocessor and communicates with the PCM over a PWM circuit with a frequency of 150 Hz and a duty cycle range of 10% to 90%.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition PCM P0B0D:00 Electric/Auxiliary Transmission Fluid Pump Motor Control Module: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets if the E-pump communication is OK. The frequency is between 130 Hz and 170 Hz and a valid duty cycle was detected (54% to 61% or 64% to 71%). The transmission fluid auxiliary pump has detected a pump over or under speed condition. The current flow through the pump was within specification. PCM P0C27:00 Electric/Auxiliary Transmission Fluid Pump "A" Motor Current Low: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets if the E-pump communication is OK. The frequency is between 130 Hz and 170 Hz but a low current is detected (10% to 15% duty cycle). PCM P0C28:00 Electric/Auxiliary Transmission Fluid Pump "A" Motor Current High: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets if the E-pump communication is OK. The frequency is between 130 Hz and 170 Hz but a low current is detected (20% to 25% duty cycle). PCM P0C29:00 Electric/Auxiliary Transmission Fluid Pump "A" Driver Circuit Performance: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets if the E-pump communication is OK. The frequency is between 130 Hz and 170 Hz but a high current is detected. PCM P0C2A:00 Electric/Auxiliary Transmission Fluid Pump "A" Motor Stalled: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets if the PCM commands the electric transmission fluid pump motor on and does not detect a corresponding increase in pump pressure, indicating a stalled pump motor. PCM P0C2C:00 Electric Transmission Fluid Pump Control Module Feedback Signal Range/Performance: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets if the E-pump communication is OK. The frequency is between 130 Hz and 170 Hz but the duty cycle does not match one of the defined duty cycle ranges. PCM P0C2D:00 Electric Transmission Fluid Pump Control Module Feedback Signal Low: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets if the duty cycle is less than 10%. PCM P0C2E:00 Electric Transmission Fluid Pump Control Module Feedback Signal High: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets if the duty cycle is greater than 90%. PCM P175A:00 Transmission Fluid Over Temperature Condition - Electric Transmission Fluid Pump Disabled: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets if the E-pump communication is OK. The frequency is between 130 Hz and 170 Hz but an over temperature condition is detected (30% to 34% duty cycle). PCM P2796:00 Electric Transmission Fluid Pump Control Circuit: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets when the E-pump is not receiving a signal on it's PWM input signal from the PCM. Possible Sources
