Diagnostic boundary

A diagnostic trouble code reports that a monitored test failed. It does not prove one specific part is bad, and manufacturer logic can add vehicle-specific conditions.

Do not replace the TCM before checking the relay control circuit; an open relay path can make a good module appear offline.
