Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 GMC Savana 3500, 2019 GMC Savana 2500, 2019 Chevrolet Express 3500, and 2019 Chevrolet Express 2500. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X175Inline Harness Connector @ T12 Automatic Transmission Assembly
- Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points: Low Reference circuit terminal 11 @ X175Inline Harness Connector & Ground
- If 10 ohms or greater
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K71 Transmission Control Module
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Low Reference circuit terminal 11 @ X175Inline Harness Connector & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K71 Transmission Control Module
- Go to next step: If less than 10 ohms
- 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 12 @ X175Inline Harness Connector & 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 12 & Low Reference circuit terminal 11 @ X175Inline Harness Connector
- Verify the scan tool parameter: Transmission Fluid Temperature = Warmer than 129°C (264°F)
- If 129°C (264°F) or colder
- 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 12 @ X175Inline Harness Connector & Ground
- If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If less than 1 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 13 @ X175Inline Harness Connector & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K71 Transmission Control Module
- Go to next step: If warmer than 129°C (264°F)
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Connect the electrical connector: X175Inline Harness Connector @ 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 14 & Low Reference terminal 16 @ 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
- Test or replace the component: B13 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor
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.
NOTE:
Testing for steps 3 to 7 is performed on the control module K71 side of the harness connector.
NOTE:
Testing for steps 13 to 17 is performed on the control module K71 side of the harness connector.
