7A1–116 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4L30-E)

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 53

MODE SWITCH IN P OR N OR R BAD POSITION

This DTC does NOT flash the CHECK TRANS
indicator and does NOT set the BACKUP MODE.

Circuit Description:

The mode switch supplies the Transmission
Control Module (TCM) with information regard-
ing the selector lever position: P, R, N, D, 3, 2 or
L. The selector lever position is indicated by the
state of four ON/OFF contacts. The mode switch
is located on one side of the transmission. It is on
the transmission manual shaft and is fixed to the
main case.

The mode switch is also used to provide the
information P or N to the engine crank wiring.
The engine can be cranked only if connector M-25
terminal 4(H) is connected to terminal 1(E), which
is connected to ground.

The mode switch is also used to provide the back
up lamp power in reverse. This is the reason why
the mode switch is supplied through a 15A fuse
(CB-11). This fuse can burn due to short circuit in
the back up lamp.

When this fuse is open, the mode switch does
not work and DTC54 is set.

The mode position is defined by the shift linkage
which is a link between the shift lever and the
mode switch. A bad adjustment of the shift link-
age can create a mode switch problem (DTC53).

Diagnostic Aids:

This Diagnostic is not an electrical test done by

the TCM but a test between different information
(“logic test”).

Detection conditions of P or N bad position:
1 A/T Input Speed <3000 RPM
2 TPS > 20%
3 Mode Switch = P or N
4 No malfunction: TPS short to voltage or

ground (DTC 21, DTC22), Engine Speed
(DTC13).

5 The conditions need to be present for at least

4 seconds.

Action after the detection time: Default position
assumed for pressure calculation and shift
pattern = always in D.

Recovery Conditions: To recover, have the engine
speed higher than 3000 RPM with a TPS higher
than 20% when the mode switch is not in P or N.

Detection conditions of R bad position:
1 A/T Output Speed > 3200 RPM (approx. 100 KPH)
2 Mode Switch = R
3 No malfunction: Output speed (DTC11).

Downshift Protection (DTC62).

4 The conditions need to be present for at least

4 seconds.

Action after the detection time: Default position
assumed for pressure calculation and shift
pattern = always in D.

Recovery conditions: To recover, have the output
speed higher than 3200 RPM when the mode
switch is not R.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 54

MODE SWITCH ILLEGAL POSITION

This DTC flashes the CHECK TRANS indicator and
sets the BACKUP MODE.

Circuit Description:

The mode switch supplies the Transmission
Control Module (TCM) with information re-
garding the selector lever position: P, R, N, D, 3, 2
or L. The selector lever position is indicated by
the state of four ON/OFF contacts. The mode
switch is located on one side of the transmission.
It is on the transmission manual shaft and is fixed
to the main case.

The mode switch is also used to provide the
information P or N to the engine crank wiring.
The engine can be cranked only if connector M-25
terminal 4(H) is connected to terminal 1(E), which
is connected to ground.

The mode switch is also used to provide the back
up lamp power in reverse. This is the reason why
the mode switch is supplied through a 15A fuse
(CB-11). This fuse can burn due to short circuit in
the back up lamp.

When this fuse is open, the mode switch does
not work and DTC54 is set.

The mode position is defined by the shift linkage
which is a link between the shift lever and the
mode switch. A bad adjustment of the shift
linkage can create a mode switch problem
(DTC53).

Diagnostic Aids:

This Diagnostic is an electrical test done by the
TCM.

Detection conditions:
1 Selector Pin A and Pin B and Pin C are not

active: no position is identified then.

2 Based upon Table 1, in Park shift selector

position the code is set when Pin A is open or
shorted to ground.

3 The conditions need to be present for at least

5 seconds.

Action after the detection time: BACKUP MODE

Recovery conditions: To recover, do an IGNITION
CYCLE.
