GPM 521991.12 – Control Unit for Gear Shifting, Temperature Too High

GPM 521991.12 (GPM )

Code: 521991.12

Shortcode:

Description:

This diagnostic trouble code is generated if the control software detects that the temperature of the control unit for gear shifting is too high. This may occur if an extremely high number of shifts are performed in a short period of time.

Reaction:

The gears cannot be shifted due to the high temperature, resulting in a temporary halt in gear shifting operations.

Recommendations:

  • Allow Cooling Time:
    • Allow the control unit to cool down before attempting to shift gears again.
  • Monitor Temperature:
    • Use temperature sensors to monitor the control unit and ensure it operates within the specified temperature range.
  • Reduce Shifting Frequency:
    • Avoid performing an extremely high number of shifts in a short period to prevent overheating.
  • Inspect Ventilation:
    • Ensure that the control unit has proper ventilation to dissipate heat effectively. Clean any dust or debris that may obstruct airflow.
  • Software Update:
    • Ensure that the control software is up-to-date. Install any available updates to address potential bugs or issues.

Note:

Maintaining proper temperature control and avoiding excessive shifting in a short period can help prevent overheating of the control unit. Regular inspection and cleaning of ventilation systems are crucial for optimal performance.
