DTC P2544 72: Transmission Torque Request Circuit Message Counter Incorrect

DTC P2544 74: Transmission Torque Request Circuit Bus Signal Checksum Error

Circuit/System Description

To improve shift feel, the transmission control module (TCM) may request that the engine control module (ECM) reduce engine torque during shift events. When such a request is received, the ECM responds by retarding the injection timing and notifying the TCM that the request has succeeded. If the ECM is unable to comply with the request, the ECM sends the TCM a message that the request has failed.

The torque reduction request is sent to the ECM through GMLAN.
