DTC P0667, P0668, or P0669
Diagnostic Instructions
DTC Descriptor
DTC P0667: Transmission Control Module (TCM) Temperature Sensor Performance
DTC P0668: Transmission Control Module (TCM) Temperature Sensor Circuit Low Voltage
DTC P0669: Transmission Control Module (TCM) Temperature Sensor Circuit High Voltage
Circuit/System Description
The transmission control module (TCM) temperature sensor is located inside of the transmission control module. The transmission control module is located within the control solenoid valve assembly and is not serviced separately. The TCM temperature sensor provides the transmission control module temperature. This temperature reading is used in various shifting and diagnostic routines in the transmission control module software.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The system voltage is 11 to 18 V. |
| • | Engine speed is greater than 450 RPM. |
| • | DTC P0722 or P0723 is not set. |
P0667
| • | DTC P0711, P0712, P077B, or P215C is not set. |
| • | DTC P0667 has not passed this key ON. |
| • | The TCM temperature is at least -39°C (-38°F) and no more than +149°C (+300°F). |
P0668
DTC P0668 has not failed this ignition cycle.
P0669
| • | The transmission OSS parameter is greater than 200 RPM for greater than 200 seconds. |
| • | DTC P0669 has not failed this ignition cycle. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The difference between the TCM temperature and Trans. Fluid Temp. is greater than 15-50°C (59-122°F), depending on the highest of the Trans. Fluid Temp., TCM temperature and TCM power-up temperatures. |
| • | The difference between the TCM power-up temperature and TCM substrate temperature is greater than 15-50°C (59-122°F), depending on the highest of the Trans. Fluid Temp., TCM temperature and TCM power-up temperatures. |
| • | The above conditions have to be met for 5 minutes. |
P0668
The TCM temperature parameter is less than or equal to -60°C (-76°F) for greater than 60 seconds.
P0669
The TCM temperature parameter is greater than or equal to 160°C (320°F) for greater than 60 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTCs P0667, P0668 and P0669 are Type B DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P0667, P0668 and P0669 are Type B DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
This DTC may be set due to an overheating condition. The system is operating normally when the Transmission Fluid Temperature parameter is within 10°C (18°F) of the TCM temperature parameter.
