Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2008 GMC Yukon XL, 2008 GMC Yukon, 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2008 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The transmission control module (TCM) power up temperature sensor is located inside of the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly and has no serviceable parts. The TCM power up temperature sensor provides the temperature of the TCM at TCM power up. This temperature reading is used in various shifting and diagnostic routines in the TCM software. This fault is handled inside the TCM and no external circuits are involved.
