  1. Connect a 2 000 kPa (300 psi) pressure gage to the line pressure tap. Refer to Line Pressure Check Procedure .
  2. Use the scan tool, in clutch test mode, to cycle through all transmission ranges with the engine at idle and vehicle brakes applied. Record line pressure in each range.
Was the line pressure low in a specific range or in ranges where the same clutch was applied?
- Go to Low Main Line Pressure in All Ranges Go to Step 6 
6 Conduct a clutch test for all forward ranges. Refer to Clutch Test .Did turbine speed remain at zero in all ranges? - Go to Diagnostic Aids Go to Step 7

  1. Remove the transmission oil pan. Refer to Oil Pan Replacement .
  2. Inspect for signs of clutch failure.
Are there signs of clutch failure?
- Go to Step 8  Go to Step 9 
8 Remove the transmission for overhaul or replacement. Refer to Transmission Replacement (With 6.6L Engine) or Transmission Replacement (With 8.1L (L18) Engine) .
Did you complete the repair or replacement?
- Go to Step 11  -
9 Inspect for a stuck or sticking pressure control valve 1. Refer to Control Valve Body Cleaning and Inspection .
Did you find and correct a condition?
- Go to Step 11  Go to Step 10 
10 Replace the PCS1. Refer to Control Valve Solenoid Replacement (PCS1 and PCS2) or Control Valve Solenoid Replacement (SS1, SS2, SS3, TCC, and MAIN MOD) .
Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 11  -
11 Perform the following procedure in order to verify the repair:
