Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 GMC Sierra 3500 HD and 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    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.

  1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector:X1@ T12 Automatic Transmission Assembly
  3. Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
  4. Test for 8.3 to 9.6 V between the test points:9 V Reference circuit terminal 7 & Ground
    • If less than 8.3 V 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector:K71 Transmission Control Module
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points:9 V Reference circuit terminal 7@Component harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    4. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:9 V Reference circuit terminal 7@Component harness & Terminal 7@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
    • If greater than 9.6 V 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector:K71 Transmission Control Module
    3. Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points:9 V Reference circuit terminal 7@Component harness & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V - Replace the component:K71 Transmission Control Module
    • Go to next step: If between 8.3 and 9.6 V 
  5. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
  6. Install & Setup - EL-38522 Variable Signal Generator

    • Black lead@Ground
    • Red lead @Signal circuit terminal 4
  7. Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
  8. Verify the scan tool parameter:Transmission OSS = 3, 615 to 3, 690 RPM
    • If not between 3, 615 and 3, 690 RPM 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector:K71 Transmission Control Module
    3. Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 4@Component harness & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If less than 1 V
    5. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    6. Test for infinite resistance between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 4@Component harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    7. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 4@Component harness & Terminal 14@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 between 3, 615 and 3, 690 RPM 
  9. Verify the scan tool parameter:Transmission Output Speed Sensor Direction Signal =.02 ms
    • If not the specified value 

      Replace the component:K71 Transmission Control Module

    • Go to next step: If the specified value 
  10. EL-38522 Variable Signal Generator - 600 Hz
  11. Verify the scan tool parameter:Transmission Output Speed Sensor Direction Signal = 0.17 ms
    • If not the specified value 

      Replace the component:K71 Transmission Control Module

    • Go to next step: If the specified value
