Code 83, TCC Solenoid Circuit Fault: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 18 other vehicles, including the 1995 GMC Vandura Special, 1995 GMC Vandura, 1995 GMC Suburban, 1995 GMC Rally Camper Special, and 1995 GMC Rally. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Control module continually monitors voltage on each circuit connected to quad-driver for either low or high voltage, depending on commanded state of device connected to it. Code 83 will set if control module detects an inappropriate reading on TCC circuit. For example, if TCC duty cycle is zero, but voltage on TCC circuit drops as if solenoid were on, then Code 83 will set. TCC solenoid, because of its large current draw, is connected to 2 terminals of a single quad-driver.
NOTE:
Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.
- This test checks if control module is commanding TCC solenoid on.
- This test checks for voltage to solenoid.
