Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 GMC Yukon XL, 2018 GMC Yukon, 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2018 Cadillac Escalade ESV, and 2018 Cadillac Escalade. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - OffNOTE: 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.
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X1 @ T12 Automatic Transmission Assembly
- Test for less than 10 Ω between the test points:Low Reference circuit terminal 26 & Ground
- If 10 Ω or greater
- Disconnect the electrical connector:K71 Transmission Control Module
- Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points: Low Reference circuit terminal 26 @ X1 & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
- If 2 Ω or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω - Test or replace the component: K71 Transmission Control Module
- Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Verify the scan tool parameter: Transmission Fluid Temperature = Colder than -39°C (-38°F)
- If -39°C (-38°F) or warmer
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K71 Transmission Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 13 & 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: If colder than -39°C (-38°F)
- Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 13 & Low Reference circuit terminal 26
- Verify the scan tool parameter:Transmission Fluid Temperature = Warmer than 149°C (300°F)
- If colder than 149°C (300°F)
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire(s)
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K71 Transmission Control Module
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 13 & Ground
- If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 13 @ X1 & The other end of the circuit @ 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 warmer than 149°C (300°F)
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Connect the electrical connector: K71 Transmission Control Module
- Connect the electrical connector: X1 @ T12 Automatic Transmission Assembly
- Remove the component:Automatic Transmission Fluid Pan
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X176
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for 4.8 to 5.2 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 2 & Low Reference terminal 1 @ X176
- If not between 4.8 and 5.2 V
Replace the appropriate component: Automatic Transmission Wiring Harness
- Go to next step: If between 4.8 and 5.2 V
- If not between 4.8 and 5.2 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Remove the component: Control Valve Assembly
- Connect the electrical connector: X176
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for 4.8 to 5.2 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 2 & Low Reference terminal 1 @ B13 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor
- If not between 4.8 and 5.2 V
Replace the appropriate component: Automatic Transmission Wiring Harness
- Go to next step: If between 4.8 and 5.2 V
- If not between 4.8 and 5.2 V
- Test or replace the component: B13 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor
