Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Verify the fuse is not open: F06 Fuse-X50A Fuse Block - Underhood
    • If the fuse is open 

      Test the Transmission Control Module Clutch Solenoid Enable A circuit, 5V Reference circuit and all components connected to the 5V Reference circuit for a short to ground.

    • Go to next step: If the fuse is not open 
  2. Ignition Off
  3. Disconnect the electrical connector: B296A Transmission Pulley Speed Sensor - Primary
    4. NOTE:
    • B296A Transmission Pulley Speed Sensor - Primary Diagnostic Test Probe = J-35615-64B
    • Resistance Chassis Ground - Battery Ground = 15 to 35 ohms.
  4. Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points: Low Reference circuit terminal 1 & Chassis Ground or Test for less than 50 ohms between the test points: Low Reference circuit terminal 1 & Battery Ground
    • If 10 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit. 
    • Go to next step: If less than 10 ohms 
  5. Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode & Engine - Off
  6. Using a 3 A fused jumper wire, Test for B+ (-0.5) to B+ V between the test points: 5 V Reference circuit terminal 3 & Low Reference circuit terminal 1.
    • If less than the specified range 

      Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit

    • Go to next step: If in the specified range 
  7. Test for B+ (+0.0/-2.5 V) between the sensor signal circuit terminal 2 and the low reference terminal 1.
    • If less than the specified range 
    1. Ignition Off - Disconnect the electrical connector: X1-K71 Transmission Control Module
    2. Test for less than 10 Ω in the sensor signal circuit end to end.
      • If 10 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If less than 10 ohms
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 2 & Chassis Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    4. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 2 & all other terminals of the B296A Transmission Pulley Speed Sensor - Primary harness connector.
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short between the circuits.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    5. Connect the red lead of the J-38522  variable signal generator to the sensor signal circuit terminal 2. Connect the black lead of the J-38522  variable signal generator to the low reference circuit terminal 1. Plug the power cord of the J-38522  variable signal generator into the cigar lighter.
    6. Set the J-38522  variable signal generator to 12 volts, the Frequency to 300, and the Duty Cycle to 50%.
    7. Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
    8. Verify the scan tool parameter: Primary Pulley Speed = 540 to 660 RPM
      • If not between 540 and 660 RPM - Replace the component: K71 Transmission Control Module
      • If between 540 and 660 RPM test the component: K71 Transmission Control Module - Refer to: Component Testing
    • Go to next step: If in the specified range 
  8. Replace the component: B296A Transmission Pulley Speed Sensor - Primary
