Possible Causes
- Discharged battery/charging system
- GSM calibration
- GSM
- H1 CHECK THE GSM (GEAR SHIFT MODULE) FOR CONTINUOUS MEMORY DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (CMDTCS)
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, retrieve all continuous memory diagnostic trouble codes (CMDTCs) from the GSM.
Is DTC P0562 or P0563 present in the GSM '
Yes RESOLVE those diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) first. REFER to the GSM DTC Chart. No GO to H2 - H2 PROGRAM THE GSM (GEAR SHIFT MODULE) WITH THE LATEST SOFTWARENOTE: If a GSM self-test is carried out, the driver door must be fully closed. A false P166B DTC can set if the driver door is not fully closed during the self-test.
- Ignition ON.
- Clear all diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the GSM.
- Reprogram the GSM with the latest software. REFER to: MODULE PROGRAMMING .
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the GSM self-test.
Is DTC P0605, P0606, P0607, P06B8 or P164E present in the GSM '
Yes INSTALL a new GSM. REFER to: Gear Shift Module (GSM) (307-05A Automatic Transmission External Controls - 8-Speed Automatic Transmission - 8F35/8F40, Removal and Installation). No The fault is not present at this time. It may have been caused by a module programming error.
