Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    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. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
  4. Test for 4.8 to 5.2 V between the test points: 5 V Reference circuit terminal 13 @ Component harness & Ground
    • If less than 4.8 V 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector:K71 Transmission Control Module
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: 5 V Reference circuit terminal 13 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    4. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: 5 V Reference circuit terminal 13 @ Component harness & 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
    • If greater than 5.2 V 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    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:5 V Reference circuit terminal 13 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V - Replace the component:K71 Transmission Control Module
    • Go to next step: If between 4.8 and 5.2 V 
  5. Remove the component:Control Valve Body Cover
  6. Connect the electrical connector:X1 @ T12 Automatic Transmission Assembly
  7. Disconnect the electrical connector:
    • B12BA Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor 1
    • B12BB Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor 2
  8. Test for 4.8 to 5.2 V between the test points:
    • 5 V Reference circuit terminal 1@ B12BA Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor 1 & Ground
    • 5 V Reference circuit terminal 1@ B12BB Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor 2 & Ground
    • If not between 4.8 and 5.2 V 

      Replace the component:Automatic Transmission Wiring Harness

    • Go to next step: If between 4.8 and 5.2 V 
  9. Test or replace the component:
    • B12BA Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor 1
    • B12BB Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor 2
