Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Vehicle OFF, remove the control valve body cover. Refer to Control Valve Body Cover Replacement .
    NOTE: You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.
  2. Disconnect the harness connector at the B15 Transmission Internal Mode Switch.
  3. Vehicle in Service Mode.
  4. Test for 8.3V to 9.4V between both 9V reference circuits terminal 1, terminal 8 and ground.
    • If not within the specified range 

      Test the voltage circuits for an open/high resistance end to end.

    • If 2 Ω or greater, replace the A/Trans Wiring Extension Harness Assembly.
    • If 2 Ω or less, replace the T6 Power Inverter Module.
    • If within the specified range 
  5. Vehicle ON.
  6. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between each signal circuit listed below and the 9V reference circuit:
    • Switch Signal A: terminal 2 and terminal 1
    • Switch Signal B: terminal 6 and terminal 8
    • Switch Signal C: terminal 3 and terminal 1
    • Switch Signal P: terminal 7 and terminal 8
    • Switch Signal S: terminal 5 and terminal 8
  7. Verify each scan tool Internal Mode Switch A/B/C/P/S voltage parameter displays 4.88 - 5.12 V when jumped.
    • If any parameter does not display 4.88 - 5.12 V when jumped 

      Test the signal circuit for an open/short to voltage or short together.

    • If an open/short to voltage or short together is found, replace the Automatic Transmission Wiring Harness - Shift Shaft Position Switch.
    • If an open/short to voltage or short together is not found, replace the T6 Power Inverter Module.
    • If each signal circuit parameter displays 4.88 - 5.12 V when jumped 
  8. Replace the B15 Transmission Internal Mode Switch.
