The transmission control module (TCM) and the gear selector module (GSM) communicate with each other over a network via a standardized serial communication protocol, Local Interconnect Network (LIN), to exchange information. The control modules both send and receive information.

If the transmission control module (TCM) registers the signal from the gear selector module (GSM) is too high or too low, the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is generated.

The diagnostic trouble code can be diagnosed when the ignition is on.
