On-Board Diagnostics: Introduction

This electronically controlled five-speed transmission system is unique to supercharged vehicles. The system is controlled by a transmission control module, which is located in the same housing as the engine control module.

The TCM processes input and output in both analogue and digital form, which may be summarized in four categories: Inputs, Outputs, CAN Inputs & CAN Outputs.
