TCC Solenoid circuit open

 

TCC  pressure  solenoid  resistance  measured  too  high  during  the  power-on  solenoid 
check. The controller will attempt to disable the TCC solenoid until the ignition is turned 
off. Refer to the data display screen in the diagnostic menu to see the measured solenoid 
resistance.

resistance  measured  too  high  during  the  power-on 

solenoid  check.  Refer  to  the  data  display  screen  in  the  diagnostic  menu  to  see  the 
measured solenoid resistance.

 

 

TPS Voltage Low; run TPS Setup

 

The  Throttle  Position  Sensor  is  in  fault  mode  due  to  the  voltage  being  below  the  idle 
threshold value that was set. Run TPS calibration in the setup menu.

 

 

TFT Circuit Voltage Low or Shorted

 

The Transmission Fluid Temperature sensor voltage is too low. A possible cause of this 
could be that it is shorted to ground.

 

 

TFT Circuit Voltage High or Open

 

The Transmission Fluid Temperature sensor voltage is too high. The TFT sensor circuit 
could be open.

 

 

Transmission is Overheating

 

The temperature in the transmission is above the allowed threshold.

 

 

OSS Circuit Open or Sensor Missing

 

The Output Shaft Speed Sensor circuit is open or the sensor is missing.

 

 

ISS Circuit Open or Sensor Missing

 

The  Input  Shaft  (Turbine)  Speed  Sensor  circuit  is  open  or  the  sensor  is  missing.  (if 
equipped)

 

 

OSS Sensor Signal Plausibility Error

 

The controller detected an unexpected value from this sensor and marked it as faulty.

 

 
ISS Sensor Signal Plausibility Error

 

The controller detected an unexpected value from this sensor and marked it as faulty. (if
