DTC P1684: Transmission Control Module (TCM) Power Up Temperature Sensor Performance
DTC P1685: Transmission Control Module (TCM) Power Up Temperature Sensor Circuit Low Voltage
DTC P1686: Transmission Control Module (TCM) Power Up Temperature Sensor Circuit High Voltage
Circuit/System Description
The transmission control module (TCM) power up temperature sensor is located inside of the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly and is not serviced separately. The TCM power up temperature sensor provides the temperature of the TCM when
the TCM power is on. This temperature reading is used in various shifting and diagnostic routines in the TCM software. This fault is handled inside the TCM and no external circuits are involved.

Circuit/System Verification
- Ignition ON, clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
- Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running and Setting the DTC. The DTCs should not set.
| ⇒ | If a DTC sets, replace the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly. |
- Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
