Summary

NOTE:  A new diagnostic logic has been established to enhance the diagnostic process by storing a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) on Applied Vehicles.  New DTCs: P17F0, P17F1, P17F2, P17F4 will not turn the MIL ON.  This new diagnostic logic will monitor conditions in the CVT while the customer is operating their vehicle in their usual daily drive patterns.  If any of the above DTC(s) are stored, refer to NTB19-040 for repair information. ACTION 1. Confirm the current TCM part number is in Table 1. 2. Reprogram the TCM, if applicable.
