Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Buick LaCrosse and 2008 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the TRANS fuse. Inspect the fuse for an open.
- If the fuse is open, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit for a short to ground.
- Disconnect the TCM connector. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Using the J 35616
GM terminal test kit, measure the voltage at the ignition 1 voltage circuit. The voltage should be near battery voltage.
- If the voltage is below the specified value, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit for an open or high resistance.
- If all circuits and connections test normal, replace the TCM.
