Circuit/System Verification

  1. Engine idling at the normal operating temperature.
  2. Verify the scan tool Transmission Fluid Temperature parameter is between -74 and +174°C (-101 and +345°F).
    • If not between -74 and +174°C (-101 and +345°F) 

      Replace the Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly.

    • If between -74 and +174°C (-101 and +345°F) 
  3. Verify the scan tool Transmission Fluid Temperature parameter increases greater than 2°C (3.5°F) after operating the vehicle at 64km/h (40 mph) for 10 min.
    • If the temperature does not increase greater than 2°C (3.6°F) 

      Replace the Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly.

    • If the temperature increases greater than 2°C (3.6°F) 
  4. Verify the scan tool Transmission Fluid Temperature and the TCM Temperature parameters are within 20°C (36°F).
    • If the temperatures are not within 20°C (36°F) 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the control valve body cover. Refer to Control Valve Body Cover Replacement .
    2. Verify the heat sink on the control valve channel upper plate and the control solenoid valve spring are in place and undamaged.
      • If the heat sink on the control valve channel upper plate or the control solenoid valve spring are damaged, replace as necessary
      • If the heat sink on the control valve channel upper plate and the control solenoid valve spring are in place and undamaged, replace the Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly
    • If the temperatures are within 20°C (36°F) 
  5. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
  6. Verify the DTC does not set.
    • If the DTC sets 

      Replace the Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly.

    • If the DTC does not set 
  7. All OK.
