TCM performs the following actions if DTC is set:
- When in a forward gear range, the transmission will fail to another forward gear range, unless the transmission is compromised by overspeeding or direction change, then the transmission will shift to Neutral while diagnostic response is active.
- If the gearshift lever is moved from a forward gear range to Neutral or from a forward gear range to Reverse, then the transmission will shift to Neutral.
- If the gearshift lever is moved to Reverse, the transmission will shift to Reverse if it is not compromised by overspeeding or a direction change. If compromised, the transmission will shift to Neutral.
- DTC will be stored in the TCM.
- The TCM freezes shift adapts.
- Illuminates the MIL when active.
- TCM inhibits TCC engagement.
