Fault Code 75 Troubleshooting

A
Purpose:Check for Active or Inactive fault codes.
  1. Record the transmission fault codes, FMIs, occurrences, and timestamps from the Service Activity Report created during the Diagnostic Procedure.

  • If a fault code other than 75 sets Active, troubleshoot per Fault Code Isolation Procedure Index.

  • If Fault Code 75 is Inactive, no action necessary. This code indicates the driver powered down the system before selecting neutral. Test complete.
