Controlled Limp-in Mode

When a failure condition does not require the TCM to shut down the solenoid supply, but the failure is of a degree where the TCM will place the transmission into a predefined gear, there will be several shift performance issues. Examples of this are, with the transmission slipping the controller will attempt to place the transmission into third gear and maintain third gear for all forward drive conditions. Another example is some of the CAN bus message issues if the TCM does not receive required information from the Engine Controller, then default values are used which may result in poor transmission shift performance.
