Causes

Short to battery (voltage) on the Torque Management Feedback B circuit
Faulty torque management feedback sensor or actuator (B)
Poor or missing ground at the controlling module (PCM/TCM)
Corroded, damaged or disconnected connector/terminal in the circuit
Intermittent open/short in wiring/harness (chafing, pinched wire)
Faulty PCM/TCM or internal driver/device failure

Symptoms

Check Engine Light (MIL) illuminated, with P2644 stored
Reduced engine torque or limp/reduced-power mode depending on vehicle
Erratic throttle response or hesitation during acceleration
Transmission shift irregularities if torque management interacts with TCM
Possible inability to clear the code if underlying issue persists

What to check

Read freeze frame and live data with a scan tool to confirm conditions when code set
Compare Feedback B signal to Feedback A (if present) using live data
Visually inspect connectors and wiring for damage, corrosion, pin push-out or moisture
Backprobe the feedback B signal circuit at the sensor/actuator and at the module
Measure DC voltage at the signal pin with key ON/engine OFF and during operation
Perform wiggle test on harness/connectors while monitoring live data for intermittent faults

Signal parameters

Typical signal type: low-voltage analog (0–5 V) or PWM duty-cycle (0–100%), manufacturer dependent
Expected range: approximately 0–5 V; a ‘High’ fault commonly flagged when voltage > ~4.5 V or near battery voltage
If PWM, typical frequency can range from ~10 Hz to several hundred Hz; a ‘High’ reading may correspond to ~90–100% duty
Reference battery voltage on signal pin indicates possible short-to-voltage
Compare to manufacturer-specific pinout and parameter values when available

Diagnostic algorithm

Confirm DTC: Connect a scan tool, record freeze frame and live data for Torque Management Feedback B. Note conditions when the code set (idle, acceleration, cold/hot).
Reproduce: Clear codes and attempt to reproduce the fault with targeted driving or engine conditions while monitoring the feedback B signal.
Visual inspection: Inspect wiring, connectors, and grounds for the feedback B circuit, harness routing for chafe points, and any signs of heat or corrosion.
Backprobe and measure: With key ON (engine OFF), measure DC voltage at the feedback B signal pin at the sensor/actuator connector and at the module connector. Compare readings.
Wiggle test: With scan tool monitoring live data, wiggle harness and connectors to check for intermittent changes. Note any correlation to live data jumps or MIL set.
Check for short to voltage: If signal is high at both ends, disconnect the sensor/actuator — if the signal drops to a normal level or open-circuit value, suspect short in harness or sensor. If it remains high, suspect module internal fault or shared power issue.
Resistance and continuity: With battery disconnected, check continuity and resistance of the signal wire to the module and to the sensor pin. Look for unintended continuity to battery or other circuits.
Oscilloscope check: If available, capture waveform under operating conditions to determine if signal is analog, PWM, noisy, or stuck high.
Repair targeted wiring or connector faults, then retest. Replace the sensor/actuator only after wiring and connector integrity confirmed.
If wiring and sensor are good and fault persists, consider module replacement or reprogramming per manufacturer procedures. Require proper security and programming tools.

Likely causes

Short-to-voltage on the feedback B signal wire (most common)
Damaged connector terminal or corrosion at sensor/module connector
Failed torque management feedback sensor/actuator (B)
Poor ground for the module causing abnormal signal levels
Module internal fault only after verifying wiring and sensor integrity

Fault status

⚠️ Status

Torque Management Feedback Signal B higher than expected. Signal voltage/duty-cycle exceeds allowed range; possible short to battery, sensor/actuator fault, wiring or module issue.
