DTC Descriptor

DTC P150C: Transmission Control Module Engine Speed Request Signal Message Counter Incorrect

To improve vehicle shift feel, the transmission control module (TCM) is constantly sending the engine control module (ECM) serial data messages with information regarding its request for modifying engine speed or torque. The ECM sets this code when it detects a discrepancy in the structure of this message causing its integrity to be questioned.

An intermittent fault in the controller area network (CAN) circuits will cause DTC P150C to set.

Conditions for Running the DTC

•	The engine is running.

•	No other CAN errors are present.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects greater than 2 message count errors.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

•	The ECM Disables engine speed requests from transmission.

•	DTC P150C is a Type B DTC.

•	The TCM commands maximum line pressure during shifts.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P150C is a Type B DTC.
