What does this fault code mean?
The transmission control module (TCM) has received a faulty signal from the brake control module (BCM). The fault should be looked for first in the brake control module or in the communication between the two modules, not in the gearbox.
Possible causes
- Fault in the brake control module (BCM)
- Fault in the CAN communication between the transmission control module (TCM) and the brake control module (BCM)
- Damaged brake control module (BCM)
- Damaged transmission control module (TCM)
What you can do
- 1Start by dealing with stored codes in the CEM and the brake control module
- 2Check the connectors and wiring to the brake control module for looseness, corrosion and damage
- 3If the fault remains once the codes in the brake control module and the CAN network have been dealt with, the workshop may need to replace the gearbox mechatronic unit
- 4The braking system is safety-critical, so have a workshop carry out any work on the brake control module and the transmission control module
Symptoms you may notice3
- General warning lamp lit
- Yellow warning symbol and text message in the display
- The car performs poorly and lacks power when pulling away from standstill
General guidance for car owners. Diagnosis on the car can point to a different cause.
