P0634

2017-10-10

Description:

  • The fault code P0634 indicates that the internal temperature of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), Engine Control Module (ECM), or Transmission Control Module (TCM) is higher than the specified limit. This fault code typically indicates a problem with the module's cooling system or a malfunction within the module itself.

Possible Symptoms:

  • Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or Check Engine Light illuminated

  • Possible engine or transmission performance issues

  • Abnormal temperature gauge readings or warning messages

  • Overheating of the module or surrounding components

  • Possible drivability concerns or transmission shifting problems

  • Potential limp mode activation (reduced power mode)

Possible Causes:

  • Insufficient airflow to the PCM/ECM/TCM

  • Malfunctioning cooling system components (e.g., fan, radiator)

  • Faulty temperature sensor within the module

  • Internal malfunction within the PCM/ECM/TCM

  • Electrical or wiring issues affecting the module's temperature regulation

Related Parts:

  • Engine Control Module (ECM): ECM is the part of the car computer that controls the engine system and performance. Problems lead to poor fuel economy, engine stalling & unwanted engine vibrations

Possible Solutions:

  • Ensure proper airflow to the PCM/ECM/TCM by checking for any obstructions or blockages in the cooling system

  • Inspect and test the cooling system components (e.g., fan, radiator) to ensure they are functioning correctly

  • Test and replace the temperature sensor within the module if it is found to be faulty

  • If the internal malfunction is suspected, it may be necessary to replace the PCM/ECM/TCM

  • Check the electrical connections and wiring related to the module's temperature regulation, and address any issues
