P1833
DTC P1833 (2.2L)
Circuit Description
The transmission control module (TCM) provides voltage to the pressure control solenoid, the shift solenoids, and the torque converter clutch pulse width modulated (TCC PWM) solenoid through 2 separate solid-state devices called high side drivers (HSD) - HSD1 and HSD2. HSD1 provides electrical power to the pressure control solenoid. HSD2 provides power to the shift solenoids and the TCC PWM solenoid. A normal function of the TCM is to run tests on each driver to ensure that it is functioning properly.
When the TCM detects an open or a short to ground on HSD2, DTC P1833 sets. DTC P1833 is a type A DTC.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P1833 Torque Converter Clutch (TCC)/Shift Solenoid (SS) Control Circuit Low Voltage
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The engine is running for 5 seconds and not in fuel cut-off.
* HSD2 is commanded ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The TCM detects and open or a short to ground on the HSD2 circuit when the HSD2 is commanded ON for 4.4 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The TCM requests the engine control module (ECM) to illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
* The TCM commands an immediate landing to 2nd gear.
* The TCM commands maximum line pressure.
* The TCM forces the TCC OFF.
* The TCM inhibits TCC engagement.
* The TCM commands HSD2 off.
* The TCM freezes transmission adaptive function.
* The ECM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The ECM stores this information as Freeze Frame and Failure Records.
* The TCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The TCM stores this information as Failure Records.
* The TCM stores DTC P1833 in TCM history.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
* The ECM turns OFF the MIL after the third consecutive drive trip in which the TCM does not send a MIL illumination request.
* A scan tool can clear the MIL/DTC.
* The TCM clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an emission related diagnostic fault occurring.
* The TCM cancels the default actions when the ignition is OFF long enough in order to power down the TCM.
