DTC Summaries
ZF 4 HP 24 E9 / AJ16 Transmission Control System – OBD II
OBD II MONITORING
DTCs can be accessed only through the DLC (diagnostic link connector).
Using PDU, select ToolBox, Engine / Transmission DTC, and Bosch / ZF 4 HP 24 E9.

MIL Activation
CHECK ENGINE MIL: A number in the CHECK ENG. MIL column indicates the consecutive trips required
to activate the MIL. The CHECK ENGINE MIL activates for OBD II related transmission faults. Activation
will store engine management DTC P1775 in the ECM memory.
TRANSMISSION MIL: A check mark in the TRANS. MIL column indicates MIL activation. The number of
trips required to activate the TRANSMISSION MIL may vary depending on other fault parameters.

Transmission: ZF 4 HP 24 E9 / AJ16 Transmission Control System – OBD II 1
