Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
    NOTE:

    It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.

  1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector: X1 @ T12 Automatic Transmission Assembly
  3. Test for less than 10 Ω between the test points: Low Reference circuit terminal 22 & Ground
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Disconnect the electrical connector: K71 Transmission Control Module
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points: Low Reference circuit terminal 22 @ Component harness & Terminal 28 @ Control module harness
      • If 2 Ω or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω - Replace the component: K71 Transmission Control Module
    • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω 
  4. Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
  5. Verify the scan tool parameter: Transmission Fluid Temperature = Less than -35°C (-31°F)
    • Warmer than -35°C (-31°F) 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K71 Transmission Control Module
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 23 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance - Replace the component: K71 Transmission Control Module
    • Go to next step: Colder than -35°C (-31°F) 
  6. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 23 & Low Reference circuit terminal 22
  7. Verify the scan tool parameter: Transmission Fluid Temperature = Greater than 149°C (300°F)
    • Colder than 149°C (300°F) 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire(s)
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K71 Transmission Control Module
    3. Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 23 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V
    5. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    6. Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 23 @ Component harness & Terminal 63 @ Control module harness
      • If 2 Ω or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω - Replace the component: K71 Transmission Control Module
    • Go to next step: Warmer than 149°C (300°F) 
  8. Test or replace the component: B13 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor
