DTC Descriptor

DTC P1761

Up and Down Shift Switch Signal Message Counter Incorrect

Circuit/System Description

When the shift lever is placed in the M position, the transmission will enter manual mode, also known as tap shift. The manual mode allows the vehicle operator to select an upshift by pressing the plus (+) button or downshift by pressing the minus (-) button. The body control module (BCM) supplies a signal circuit to the shift controller. The shift controller has switches connected to a resistor array. A voltage drop occurs across the resistor network. When the plus or minus button is pushed, a corresponding voltage drop occurs across the resistor network. This voltage drop is monitored by the BCM. The BCM will send the request to the transmission control module (TCM) for an upshift or downshift. The BCM internal counter increments each time the tap shift signal status is sent and the BCM sends the rolling count with the tap shift signal status. The TCM counter increments each time the tap shift signal status is received. The DTC will set if the rolling count value of the TCM does not match the rolling count sent from the BCM.

Conditions for Running the DTC

• Engine speed is 400-7,500 RPM for 5 s.
• Runs continuously when above condition is met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

TCM detects the internal rolling count value does not match the expected BCM count, 3 times within 10 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• P1761 is a Type C DTC.
• TCM inhibits the Tap Up Tap Down function.
• TCM inhibits manual shifting of forward gears.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

P1761 is a Type C DTC.

Circuit/System Verification

NOTE:

• DTC P1761 is an informational DTC.
• Diagnose all other body control module DTCs prior to DTC P1761.

1. Verify there are no other body control module or communication DTCs set.

If a DTC is set

Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle .

If a DTC is not set

2. Complete the diagnosis by looking for a GMLAN circuit fault. Refer to Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with High Speed GMLAN Device .

If a GMLAN circuit fault is found

Repair as necessary.

If a GMLAN circuit fault is not found

3. All OK.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the repair.

• Perform the Transmission Adaptive Values Learn following all transmission repairs
