Circuit Description

While the vehicle is being driven, engine and transmission data accumulates in a random access memory (RAM) device, which cannot store data reliably when the transmission control module (TCM) powers down. Before the TCM powers down, the data is copied from RAM to an electrically-erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) device, sometimes referred to as non-volatile memory (NVM). Both the RAM and the EEPROM are inside the TCM. A normal function of the TCM programming is to test the EEPROM at TCM power-down by copying test data from RAM to the EEPROM and then comparing the two copies. If they do not match, DTC P062F sets. DTC P062F is a type A DTC.
