    5. NOTE:

    If unable to perform the scan tool control function due to Device Limits Exceeded and/or DTC Present, jumper the component B14A circuits between the component T12 connector and the X1 harness connector. - Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points:

    • 9 V Reference circuit terminal 7 X1 (harness side) & 9 V Reference circuit terminal 7 X1 (component side)
    • Signal circuit terminal 6 X1 (harness side) & Signal circuit terminal 6 X1 (component side)
  5. Perform the scan tool control function: High Side Driver 1 - On and Off

    Verify the test lamp turns On and Off.

    5. Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Control circuit terminal 15 @ 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 the test lamp turns On and Off 
  6. Verify DTC P0658, P0659 is not set.
    • If the DTC is set 

      Refer to step 9

    • Go to next step: If the DTC is not set 
  7. Connect a test lamp between the test points:
    • { P2727, P2729, P2730 } Control circuit terminal 5 @ Component harness & Control circuit terminal 15 @ Component harness

    • { P2826, P2827 } Control circuit terminal 3 @ Component harness & Control circuit terminal 15 @ Component harness
    • { P282F, P2830 } Control circuit terminal 2 @ Component harness & Control circuit terminal 15 @ Component harness
  8. Perform the scan tool control function: Transmission Control Solenoid Valve 5, 6, 9, 10 - On and Off

    Verify the test lamp turns On and Off.

    • If the test lamp is always Off 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off

      • { P2826, P2827 } Control circuit terminal 3 @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
      • { P282F, P2830 } Control circuit terminal 2 @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
      • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If less than 2 ohms
    4. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
    5. Test for less than 1 V between the test points:
      • { P2727, P2729, P2730 } Control circuit terminal 5 @ Component harness & Ground
