P2640: Torque Management Feedback Signal High

What does the P2640 code mean?

The P2640 code indicates that the Engine Control Module (ECM) has detected a high voltage signal from the torque management feedback circuit. This circuit monitors the torque reduction request from the transmission control module (TCM) during shifts. A high signal suggests a short to voltage, a faulty sensor, or an internal ECM issue, potentially causing harsh shifts or reduced engine power.
