Stratus L4-2.4L DOHC (1995)
Control Module: Description and Operation
Circuit Operation
The Transmission Control System is used on all automatic transmission applications. It provides smooth and accurate shift points and can adjust as the
transmission wears.
Power for the Transmission Control Module (TCM) is supplied from three sources. One is a direct battery feed on circuit A24. This circuit is protected
by a 20 amp fuse located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) cavity 3. It is also spliced and supplies power for the transmission control relay.
Power is also supplied on circuit A41. This is the power supply is for the engine starter relay, coil side, and is HOT in the START position only. Circuit
A1, which connects to the ignition switch, supplies power to circuit A41 in the START position and is protected by a 20 amp fuse located in cavity 8 of
the PDC.
Circuit F11 also supplies power to the TCM and the Park/Neutral Position switch at all times. This circuit is protected by a 10 amp fuse located in cavity
11 of the junction block. Power for the fuse is supplied on circuit A51. This circuit is protected by a 10 amp fuse located in cavity 7 of the PDC.
Ground for the TCM is supplied on the Z13 circuit, which is a power ground, and circuit Z14, which is a signal ground. Both grounds terminate at the
left strut tower.
The CCD Data Bus is used to allow the controller to communicate with other controllers and the Universal Data Link connector. The circuits involved
are, D1 for CCD positive, and D2 for CCD negative.
