DTC Descriptor
DTC P1876: Up and Down Shift Enable Switch
Circuit Low Voltage
Circuit/System Description
When the gear shift lever is placed in manual mode (M), the
driver shift request (DSR), also known as the tap shift
function, is activated. The DSR allows the vehicle operator to
shift gears by pushing the plus (+) button to change up or
minus (-) button to change down. The body control
module (BCM) supplies battery voltage, ground, and a signal
circuit to the shift controller. The shift controller has
Hall-effect switches connected to a resistor array. When the lever
is in the M position, 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) to perform the upshift or
downshift.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• |
The engine speed is greater than 400 RPM for
5 seconds. |
• |
The ignition voltage is 9.0 volts or
greater. |
• |
DTC P0815, P0816, P0826, P1761, P1825, P1876,
P1877, P1915, or U0100 is not set. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The transmission control module (TCM) detects a TAP Enable
Switch request for 3 seconds when the gear shift lever is in
Park, Reverse, or Neutral, a total of 5 times.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• |
DTC P1876 is a Type C DTC. |
• |
The TCM inhibits Tap-Up/Tap-Down functions. |
• |
The TCM inhibits manual up, manual down shifts
with the shift selector. |
Conditions for Clearing the DIC/DTC
DTC P1876 is a Type C DTC.

Circuit/System Verification
- Verify there are no IMS DTCs set.
⇒ |
If IMS DTCs are set, diagnose them first. |
- Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Driver Shift
Control Mode parameter while moving the transmission gear shift
lever through all the positions. The parameter should display
Inactive in the park, reverse, neutral, and drive positions, and
Active in the M position.
- Gear shift lever in the M position, verify the
scan tool Driver Shift Request parameter changes from None to
Upshift when the plus button is pressed, and from None to Downshift
when the minus button is pressed.
- After performing the above steps, verify that the DTC
does not reset by operating the vehicle within the Conditions for
Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the
conditions you observe from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
If the vehicle passes the Circuit/System Verification procedure,
then STOP. Do not perform the Circuit/System Testing or Component
Testing as this may result in an unnecessary part replacement.
Refer to
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections .
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the S3 gear lever assembly
electrical connector from the S3 gear lever assembly.
- Test for less than 10 ohms between the S3 gear
lever assembly harness connector terminal 2 and ground.
⇒ |
If greater than the specified range, repair the
ground circuit. |
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Driver Shift Control
parameter displays inactive.
⇒ |
If not the expected results, test the signal
circuit between S3 gear lever assembly connector terminal 3
and the K9 BCM for a short to voltage or ground. If the circuit
tests normal, replace the K9 BCM. |
- Ignition OFF, connect a test lamp between the S3 gear
lever assembly harness connector ignition circuit terminal 1
and ground circuit terminal 2.
- Ignition ON, verify the test lamp is illuminated.
⇒ |
If the light stays off, test the ignition circuit
for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace
the K9 BCM. |
- Test for 11-13 volts at the S3 gear lever
assembly harness connector between signal circuit terminal 3
and ground.
⇒ |
If not within the specified range, test the signal
circuit for a short-circuit to ground or an open/high resistance.
If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM. |
- Ignition OFF, connect the S3 gear lever assembly
harness connector.
- Ignition ON, back probe the S3 gear lever assembly
connector and test for 11-13 volts between terminal 3 and
ground with the gear lever in park, reverse, neutral, and
drive.
⇒ |
If not within the specified range, replace the S3
gear lever assembly. |
- Use a DMM to monitor the voltage between the S3 gear
lever assembly connector terminal 3 and ground with the gear
lever in the M position, M position with the tap up plus
button depressed, and the M position with the tap down minus
button depressed. Compare the readings and verify the voltages are
correct for each position as follows:
• |
Tap down: 5.1-7.3 volts |
⇒ |
If not within the specified range, test the signal
circuit for a short-circuit to ground or open/high resistance. If
the circuit tests normal, replace the S3 gear lever assembly. |
- If all circuits test normal, replace the K9 BCM.
