CODE 52/53, SYSTEM VOLTAGE HIGH

Code 53 will set when ignition is on and control module 12-volt battery feed voltage is greater than 19.5 volts for about 2 seconds. During the time failure is present, force motor is turned off, transmission immediately shifts to 2nd gear, and TCC operation is inhibited. The setting of additional codes may result.

Note. Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.

  1. Normal voltage is 9-15 volts.
  2. Checks if alternator is faulty under load.

Jump-starting engine or charging battery with a battery charger may set code. If code is set when an accessory is operated, check for poor connections or excessive current draw. Also, check for poor connections at starter solenoid or fusible link.
