DTC P0883
Circuit Description
The transmission control module (TCM) requires direct battery voltage to operate properly.
DTC P0883 is a type C DTC.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0883 Transmission Control Module (TCM) Power Input Signal High
Conditions for Running the DTC
Engine speed is greater than 400 RPM for 1 second.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P0883 sets when the TCM detects battery direct voltage greater than 18 volts for 6 out of 10 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The TCM does not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
^ Hydraulic default is commanded. Shift selector position and hydraulic state of logic valves determine range.
^ The TCM inhibits main modulation.
^ The TCM inhibits torque converter clutch (TCC) engagement.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
A scan tool can clear the code from TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 Warm-up cycles without failure.
Diagnostic Aids
^ Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM. Inspect for the following conditions:
^ A bent terminal
^ A backed-out terminal
^ A damaged terminal
^ Poor terminal tension
^ A chafed wire
^ A broken wire inside the insulation
^ When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change.
^ You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a condition.
^ This DTC is normally set due to vehicle charging system concerns.
