What does this fault code mean?
The code is event-controlled and meant as information. The transmission control module can ask for a higher engine speed before a downshift, and the code is set if the engine control module does not allow the increase, for example when the vehicle speed is too low. It does not show a fault in the control module where it is active.
Possible causes
- The code is not caused by a repairable fault but by a request being refused
What you can do
- 1This code is information only. Take a test drive and check whether the gear changes are smooth at normal speed
- 2If gear changes are harsh or take too long on a downshift, have a workshop read the transmission control module (TCM)
Symptoms you may notice2
- Gear changes can feel harsh or jerky
- Gear changes can take too long to complete
