Code 83, TCC Solenoid Circuit Fault: Notes

The PCM/TCM continually monitors voltage on each circuit connected to the quad-driver for either low or high voltage, depending on the commanded state of the device connected to it. Code 83 will set if PCM/TCM detects an inappropriate reading on the TCC circuit. For example, if the TCC duty cycle is zero, but voltage on the TCC circuit drops as if the solenoid were on, then Code 83 will set. The TCC solenoid, because of its large current draw, is connected to 2 terminals of a single quad-driver.

1. This test checks for low resistance in the solenoid or internal transmission harness. Test also determines which circuit triggered fault. If bidirectional scan tester is not available, TCC may be activated by grounding ALDL test terminal "B" with ignition on and engine off.
2. This test checks for voltage in the solenoid.
3. This test checks circuit No. 422 for short to ground.
4. This test checks if PCM/TCM is commanding TCC solenoid on.
