Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Chevrolet Suburban 3500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X175 @ T12 Automatic Transmission Assembly
- Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points: Low Reference circuit terminal 11 & Ground
- If 10 ohms or greater
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K71 Transmission Control Module
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Low Reference circuit terminal 11 @ Component harness & Terminal 28 @ Control module harness
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K71 Transmission Control Module
- Go to next step: If less than 10 ohms
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Verify the scan tool parameter: Transmission Fluid Temperature = Greater than 129°C (264°F)
- Less than 129°C (264°F)
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K71 Transmission Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 12 @ Component harness & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance - Replace the component: K71 Transmission Control Module
- Go to next step: Greater than 129°C (264°F)
- Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 12 & Low Reference circuit terminal 11
- Verify the scan tool parameter: Transmission Fluid Temperature = Less than 129°C (264°F)
- Greater than 129°C (264°F)
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire(s)
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K71 Transmission Control Module
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 12 @ Component harness & Ground
- If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 12 @ Component harness & Terminal 63 @ Control module harness
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K71 Transmission Control Module
- Go to next step: Less than 129°C (264°F)
- Test or replace the component: B13 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor
NOTE:
It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.
