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.
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X1@T12 Automatic Transmission Assembly
- Connect a test lamp between the test points: Control circuit terminal 11 (harness side) & Ground
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Perform the scan tool control function: High Side Driver 1 - On and Off
Verify the test lamp turns On and Off.
- If the test lamp is always Off
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Test lamp
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K71 Transmission Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Control circuit terminal 11@Component harness & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Control circuit terminal 11@Component harness & Terminal 33@ 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 the test lamp is always On
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Test lamp
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K71 Transmission Control Module
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Control circuit terminal 11@Component harness & Terminal 33@ Control module harness
- 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 the test lamp turns On and Off
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Test lamp
- Connect the electrical connector: X1@T12 Automatic Transmission Assembly
- Remove the component: Automatic Transmission Fluid Pan
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X177
- Connect a test lamp between the test points: Control circuit terminal 4 (harness side) & Ground
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Perform the scan tool control function: High Side Driver 1 - On and Off
Verify the test lamp turns On and Off.
- If the test lamp does not turn On and Off
Replace the component: Automatic Transmission Wiring Harness - Pass-Thru
- Go to next step: If the test lamp turns On and Off
- If the test lamp does not turn On and Off
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Test lamp
- Connect the electrical connector: X177
- Disconnect the electrical connector:
- Q77G Transmission Control Solenoid Valve 7
- Q77H Transmission Control Solenoid Valve 8
- Connect a test lamp between the test points: Control circuit terminal 1 (harness side) @Q77G Transmission Control Solenoid Valve 7 & Ground
- Perform the scan tool control function: High Side Driver 1 - On and Off
Verify the test lamp turns On and Off.
- If the test lamp does not turn On and Off
Replace the component: Automatic Transmission Wiring Harness - Main/Solenoid
- Go to next step: If the test lamp turns On and Off
- If the test lamp does not turn On and Off
- Test or replace the component:
- Q77G Transmission Control Solenoid Valve 7
- Q77H Transmission Control Solenoid Valve 8
NOTE:
The test lamp may not turn Off completely when the control function is commanded Off as the control module continues to supply a small amount of current on the circuit.
