Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2012 GMC Yukon XL, 2012 GMC Yukon, 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2012 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
To improve vehicle shift feel, the transmission control module (TCM) is constantly sending the engine control module (ECM) serial data messages with information regarding its request for modifying engine torque. The ECM sets this code when it detects a discrepancy in the structure of this message causing its integrity to be questioned.
An intermittent fault in the controller area network (CAN) circuits will cause DTC P2544 to set.
