DTC P26C3

DTC P26C3  : Internal SBW Shifter Control Module Performance

General Description

Input signal State of the switch
PinSW1 PinSW2
Lo Lo PinSW ON
Lo Hi During switch operation or single switch failure
Hi Lo
Hi Hi PinSW OFF

The transmission control module (TCM) and the SBW shifter control module (integrated with the SBW shifter assembly) are connected with a communication line (F-CAN A and F-CAN B). For shift position switching control, the shift position signal from the SBW shifter control module via F-CAN B is used for main signal, and the shift position signal from the SBW shifter control module via F-CAN A is used for back-up signal. When PinSW1 and PinSW2 input signal logic do not match (PinSW1 ON and PinSW2 OFF or PinSW1 OFF and PinSW2 ON) during accelerations and decelerations, or input information from the switch input circuit is abnormal while shifting to R, N, or D switch, the TCM receives malfunction from the SBW shifter control module, and stores a DTC.

Possible Cause 

NOTE:

The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.

  • SBW shifter assembly internal failure (SBW shifter control module)

Confirmation Procedure 

Operating Condition 

  1. Start the engine.
  2. Drive the vehicle at a speed of 6 mph (10 km/h) or less for at least 2 seconds.
  3. Accelerate the vehicle to 25 mph (40 km/h) or more for at least 2 seconds.
  4. Slow down the vehicle to 6 mph (10 km/h) or less for at least 2 seconds.
  5. Stop the vehicle.
  6. Shift the transmission to other than R position/mode for at least 1 minute.
  7. Shift the transmission to R position/mode for at least 10 times.
  8. Shift the transmission to other than N position/mode for at least 1 minute.
  9. Shift the transmission to N position/mode for at least 10 times.
  10. Shift the transmission to other than D position/mode for at least 1 minute.
  11. Shift the transmission to D position/mode for at least 10 times.

With the HDS 

None.

Diagnosis Details 

Conditions for setting the DTC 

When a malfunction is detected, the shift position indicator blinks and a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the TCM memory. The MIL does not come on.

Conditions for clearing the DTC 

The shift position indicator comes off by turning the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode. The Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command.
