Fault Code Guide

Transmission Range Faults
Transmission Range-Selected
Faults (PID 162)
There is one transmission range-selected fault cov-
ered in these procedures.
• For PID 162, FMI 02, see Table 1 for proce-
dures.
Transmission Range-Attained
Faults (PID 163)
There is one transmission range-attained fault cov-
ered in these procedures.
• For PID 163, FMI 02, see Table 2 for proce-
dures.
PID 162, FMI 02—The Transmission Is Not Properly Calibrated
Failure Reason:
• The gears are caught in an intermediate position.
• The transmission software does not allow shifting.
Problem Procedure Result Action
There are other
active transmission
faults.
Check for other MID 130 fault codes. Other fault codes
are active.
Troubleshoot the
other active fault
codes.
No other fault
codes are active.
Go to the next step
in the table.
The transmission
needs to be
recalibrated.
Complete a learning procedure using either ServiceLink or
the SmartShift control.
To complete a learning procedure using the SmartShift
control:
1. Ensure that the parking brake is set.
2. With the ignition turned off, pull and hold the SmartShift
control toward steering wheel.
NOTE: The SmartShift control must be kept in this position
until the gear display clears at the end of the procedure.
3. Turn on the ignition. The normal warm up procedure will
initiate and an ’X’ will display on the current gear indicator.
Your transmission may be heard shifting.
4. Wait until the current gear indicator displays an ’N’
(about 30 seconds) and an audible alert sounds. Start the
engine within 10 seconds of the audible alert.
5. The engine will raise a few rpm, then fall back to idle,
and an audible alert will sound. Turn off the engine within
10 seconds of audible alert. When the gear display clears,
this procedure is complete.
NOTE: If during this procedure an ’SM’ or ’X’ (after the
warm up procedure) appears in the gear display, stop, turn
off the ignition, and wait for the gear display to go dark.
Then start over. This may need to be repeated several
times.
The fault is no
longer active.
No further action is
needed.
The fault is still
active.
