DTC P2544 is a Type B DTC.
The ECM turns OFF the MIL after the sixth consecutive drive trip in which the TCM does not send a MIL illumination request.
A scan tool 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 DTC default actions when the ignition is OFF long enough in order to power down the TCM.
