Circuit Schematic
Additional Wiring
The transmission control relay is used to supply power to the solenoids and pressure switches when the
transmission is in normal operating mode. The relay output is fed back to the TCM through pins 16, 17, and 36.
It is referred to as "Transmission Control Relay Output". This circuit does not supply power to the TCM, it is
only a sense circuit. When the relay is off, no power is supplied to the solenoids and pressure switches, and the
transmission is in "limp-in" or "default" mode. Note: Inadequate Transmission Control Relay Output
voltage can also cause DTCs P0846, P0869, P0871, P0876 or P0988 to set. This does not indicate an
internal transmission or solenoid/TRS problem. Repairing the P0882 fault should also eliminate the
related DTCs.
Monitor Conditions
When Monitored:
When the ignition is turned from "OFF" position to "RUN" position and/or the ignition is turned from
"START" position to "RUN" position.
Set Conditions
Set Condition:
This DTC is set when less than 3.0 volts are present at the transmission control relay output circuits at the
Powertrain Control Module when the PCM is energizing the relay.

Disconnect the PCM C4 harness connector and connect Miller tool #8815.
CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness
connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal
to pin connection. Install Miller tool #8815 to perform diagnosis.
Connect a jumper wire between the (A104) Fused B(+) circuit and the Transmission Control Relay
Output circuit in the Transmission Control Relay connector.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check all four (T16) Transmission Control Relay Output
circuits in the PCM C4 harness connector and Transmission Solenoid/TRS Assembly harness connector.
Does the test light illuminate brightly on all four (T16) Transmission Control Relay Output
circuits?
Yes
Go to step 6).
No
Repair the (T16) Transmission Control Relay Output circuit(s) for an open or high resistance.
Perform 45RFE/545RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST.
