Pinpoint Test B : Check TFT Input Signal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- B1 CHECK TFT INPUT SIGNALNOTE: If the scan tool is unable to access the transmission PIDs, refer to Engine Controls - Introduction (Except Diesel & Hybrid) .NOTE: Read and record all DTCs.
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Transmission Vehicle Harness C1575 .
- Inspect the connector for damaged or pushed out terminals, corrosion, loose wires and missing or damaged seals.
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, monitor the TFT PIDs: TFT and TFTV
Does the TFT PID display -40 °C (-40 °F) and the TFTV PID display 4.96 to 5.10 volts?
Yes GO to B2. No REPAIR the vehicle harness circuit. - B2 CHECK TFT SIGNAL INPUT CIRCUIT FOR VOLTAGE
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C1575-6 Ground
Is the voltage between 4.8 and 5.1 volts?
Yes GO to B3. No INSPECT and REPAIR transmission vehicle harness circuit for an open. If an open circuit is not found, INSTALL a new PCM, REFER to Electronic Engine Controls . PROGRAM the PCM with the latest calibration level. PERFORM the Solenoid Body Strategy Data Download procedure. REFER to Solenoid Body Strategy . - Measure:
- B3 CHECK TFT SIGNAL RETURN CIRCUIT
Does the TFT PID display 190 °-195 °C (374 °-383 °F) and the TFTV PID display 0 volts?
Yes GO to B4. No INSPECT and REPAIR the transmission vehicle harness signal return circuit for an open. If an open circuit is not found, INSTALL a new PCM, REFER to Electronic Engine Controls . PROGRAM the PCM with the latest calibration level. PERFORM the Solenoid Body Strategy Data Download procedure. REFER to Solenoid Body Strategy . - B4 CHECK TFT SENSOR RESISTANCE

Does the temperature to resistance specifications match?
Yes REFER to Diagnosis By Symptom to diagnose an overheating concern. No INSPECT and CLEAN the TFT sensor on the molded leadframe for metallic contamination. INSTALL a new molded leadframe if no debris was found, REFER to Shift Solenoids (SS) . - Measure:
