Possible Symptoms:

  • Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) not illuminating when it should, or not illuminating at all.

  • Inability to retrieve fault codes from the TCM through the MIL.

  • Limited or no communication with the TCM through diagnostic tools.

  • Other associated transmission

  • related fault codes may be present.

  • No noticeable drivability issues are typically associated with this fault code.

Possible Causes:

  • Faulty transmission control module (TCM)

  • Wiring or electrical connection issues in the MIL request circuit

  • Blown fuse related to the MIL circuit

  • Malfunctioning MIL bulb or LED

  • Poor ground connection in the circuit

Related Parts:

  • Transmission Control System: Gear system in the car

Possible Solutions:

  • Inspect the wiring and electrical connections in the MIL request circuit for any damage, loose connections, or corrosion. Repair or replace as necessary.

  • Check the fuses related to the MIL circuit and replace any blown fuses.

  • Test and replace the faulty transmission control module (TCM), if necessary.

  • Verify the functionality of the MIL bulb or LED. Replace if it is defective.

  • Ensure proper grounding in the circuit by checking the ground connection. Clean or repair the ground connection if needed.
