Circuit/System Verification

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Ignition ON.
  2. Verify the scan tool Engine Coolant Temperature parameter was less than 125°C (257°F) when DTC set by reviewing the scan tool Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
    • If less than 125°C (257°F) 
  3. Verify the scan tool TCM Temperature parameter is less than 146°C (295°F).
    • If 146°C (295°F) or greater 

      Replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.

    • If less than 146°C (295°F) 
  4. Verify correct fluid level and condition. Refer to Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check .
  5. Clear the DTCs from the TCM using a scan tool.
  6. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running and setting the DTC until normal engine temperature is reached.
  7. Verify the scan tool Transmission Fluid Temperature parameter is less than 140°C (284°F) and DTC P0634 did not set.
    • If 140°C (284°F) or greater  

      Inspect the transmission cooling system for obstructions to the airflow of the radiator or transmission due to debris, kinked or damaged transmission fluid lines, or damage to the transmission cooler.

    • If less than 140°C (284°F) and DTC P0634 set 

      Replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.

    • If less than 140°C (284°F) and DTC P0634 did not set 
  8. After performing the above steps, verify that the DTC does not reset by operating the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions you observe from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. If the vehicle passes the Circuit/System Verification procedure, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections .
