DTC Descriptor

DTC P1761

Up and Down Shift Switch Signal Message Counter

Circuit/System Description

A signal circuit is provided by the body control module (BCM) to the resistor network embedded in the plus or minus buttons. When a plus or minus button is pressed, 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. The TCM is constantly monitoring the serial data sent from the BCM for the correct number and sequence of counts for Tap Up and Tap Down function.

Conditions for Running the DTC


• The TCM rolling counter diagnostic is enabled.

• The Tap Up and Tap Down message health is received from the BCM.

• The engine speed is 400 RPM or greater for 5 seconds.


Conditions for Setting the DTC

The TCM detects an error in the rolling count value that does not match with the BCM count, 3 times within 10 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


• DTC P1761 is a Type C DTC.

• The TCM inhibits Tap Up/Down function.

• The TCM inhibits manual shifting of forward gears.


Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P1761 is a Type C DTC.

Circuit/System Verification


1. DTC P1761 is an information dtc. Troubleshoot all other panel module fault codes before DTC P1761. See Fault code (DTC) List - Car .

2. If there are no other panel control module DTCs, diagnosis is performed by looking for a repeating CAN-circuit fault. Go to The scan tool does not communicate with the high-speed GMLAN unit .

3. After you complete the steps described above, check that the diagnostic trouble code does not return by driving the vehicle according to the conditions for running diagnostic trouble codes (DTC). You can also drive the vehicle according to the conditions you have seen in Freeze Frame/Failure records. If the vehicle passes the Circuit/System Verification procedure, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections .


Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.

Perform the Resetting of the transmission's adaption after all transmission repairs.
