    4. Test for less than 0.4 V between the test points:
      • {P17F5, P17F6, P17F7} Signal circuit terminal 17 @ T12 Automatic Transmission Assembly (harness side) & Ground
      • {P17FA, P17FB, P17FC} Signal circuit terminal 16 @ T12 Automatic Transmission Assembly (harness side) & Ground
      • If 0.4 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 0.4 V - Replace the component: K71 Transmission Control Module
    • Go to next step: If less than 0.4 V 
  6. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points:
    • {P17F5, P17F6, P17F7} Signal circuit terminal 17 X1 & 9 V Reference circuit terminal 1 X1
    • {P17FA, P17FB, P17FC} Signal circuit terminal 16 X1 & 9 V Reference circuit terminal 1 X1
  7. Verify the scan tool parameter:
