P0602-CONTROL MODULE PROGRAMMING ERROR/NOT PROGRAMMED





Theory of Operation
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) performs various internal tests to verify proper controller operation. If the TCM detects that the variables that dictate the vehicle application are not present, the controller will enter Limp-in mode and illuminate the MIL.
- When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on.
- Set Condition:
If the TCM detects that the variables that dictate the vehicle application are not present.

Possible Causes
CONTROLLER NOT CODED
TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding.
