Circuit Verification

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Perform the following procedure to place the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly under the optimal conditions to test solenoid electrical DTCs.

Ensure the transmission fluid temperature is between 50-80°C (122-176°F).
Operate the vehicle in second gear long enough to ensure at least a 3°C (5°F) rise in TCM substrate temperature and then operate the vehicle in fourth gear for 5 seconds.
