Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
---|---|---|---|---|
Reverse Gear Signal | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1, 2 |
1. Reverse Gear Lamp Inoperative 2. Reverse Gear Lamp Always ON |
When the automatic transmission is placed in the reverse position, the transmission control module (TCM) sends a serial data message to the body control module (BCM). The message indicates that the gear selector is in the reverse position. The BCM applies battery voltage to the reverse lamps. The reverse lamps are permanently grounded. Once the driver moves the gear selector out of the reverse position, a message is sent by the TCM via serial data requesting the BCM to remove battery voltage from the reverse lamp control circuit.
