Does heat cause the voltage to drop. I am asking this question because my car has a p0882 code? It does that only when the outside temperature is up. Aka summer time.

Heat can effect when codes set if components have to reach a certain temperature before they fail when they go bad then yes. I just looked up that code it asks if there are any TIPM codes?That is the computer fuse box under hood. That would take a professional scan tool that can read all the computers in your car not just the engine and transmission like the diy'er scan tool code readers. That is the first step on the trouble tree. Those TIPM have a high failure rate.

On this one it is best to know what codes all the computers in the car have. Also it might take a professional scan tool to help diagnose the problem. The way it is going a lot of the time a professional scan tool is need to see what codes all the computers have. Plus it is needed to help diagnose the problem. Which it was not so would have saved a lot of money when I had to buy my professional scan tool.

I took my car to a mechanic the beginning of this year. He said the car needs a computer. I did not have money at that time. So last month I bought a manufactured computer from autozone and installed it. It was running fine no code until few days ago the weather was hot 95 degrees and up the check engine light came back. Last year before I replaced the pcm the car goes on limp on mode when only the weather is hot. Now the codes stored in pcm are p0700, p0882, p0633, p0513.

Hey ZEMORZEMOR,

It sounds like the TCM is bad, I have read on other forums that this is a common problem with the make and model of your car.

Let me know what you find so you can help others

Best, Ken

It sounds like it is bad again, sorry. Check all system grounds by performing a pin to pin check on all computer wiring systems, check for high ohms or open circuits.

Today my girlfriend was driving when the car jerked ( I guess it shifted down) because the rpm went up to 3500. So she pulled over and left the car at gas station. When I came back from work I hooked up the scanner actron plus. The codes are p0882 tcm power input low, p0562 system low voltage, p0633 key not programmed ( I replaced the pcm ).P0700. When I started the car and did a drive test I was shifting right

this issue come only when the ambient temperature is hot 95 today and when I drive the car for long period

Today I drove the car without ac on. The weather was hot. The check engine went off however those codes are still stored. So if the check engine light went off is that means that there is no low system voltage anymore?
