    Diagnostic help
   
  
  
   Diagnostic trouble code P1624 is generated when the transmission control module
(TCM) detects an emission-related fault. The TCM sends a CHECK ENGINE request to the
Motronic control module which then switches on the CHECK ENGINE lamp (MIL). See fault
diagnosis in the "Automatic transmission" service manual.
   
   
   
    Check the wiring
   
  
  
   Intermittent faults may occur as a result of temporary short circuits and breaks in the
wiring. Jiggle the wiring at several points and in different directions to ascertain whether the
wiring harness, including any connectors, is causing the trouble. Observe the multimeter,
ISAT scan tool or test lamp while doing this.
