P1DC7 Possible Causes
- Excessive amount of wide open throttle driving
- Excessive amount of paddle shift usage in low gears
How do I fix code P1DC7?
Check the “Possible Causes” listed above. Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector’s pins.
Cost of diagnosing the P1DC7 code
The cost of diagnosing the P1DC7 code is 1.0 hour of labor. The auto repair labor rates vary by location, your vehicle’s make and model, and even your engine type. Most auto repairs shops charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
Possible Symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
P1DC7 Description
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) performs several diagnostic checks to determine whether the temperature of a clutch is above a calibrated temperature value. These diagnostic checks use temperature models which are based upon the following:
– Input speed
– Output speed
– Current gear
– Target gear
– Calculated effective pressure on the engaging clutch
– Calculated effective pressure on the disengaging clutch
The Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) set by these diagnostics are used to protect the durability of the clutches by controlling the shift operation. No repair action is required. This fault is only used to initiate a calibration strategy and for diagnostic information when other faults are set.
