Transmission Control Module (TCM)

The TCM receives information from various input devices and uses information to control lock-up and shift control solenoid valves. See Figure . The TCM contains a self-diagnostic system, which will store fault code if failure or problem exists in the transaxle electronic control system. Fault code can be retrieved to determine transaxle problem area. Fault code may also be referred to as Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). For information on self-diagnostic system, see SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM  . The TCM is located behind passenger's side kick panel. See Figure -Figure .
