Fault-Tracing

Fault tracing TCM-P086012

Checking communication with the gear selector (GSM)




- Ignition on
- Gear selector in position P
- Check if communication with the gear selector module (GSM) functions by reading the status for the Winter program selector (W).
- Activate and deactivate the function by pressing the switch. The status must change.
The fault is permanent if the value does not change.
If the status switches it means that the fault was present previously but is not active now. There is an intermittent fault.









Continue - Checking the components and wiring

-------------------------------------------------

Checking the components and wiring
Check the communication cable (IN) between the transmission control module (TCM) terminal #A7 and gear selector module (GSM) terminal #2. Check for a short circuit to supply voltage.
If no fault can be found in the cable and the fault remains try replacing the printed circuit board (gear selector module (GSM)).
