Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
    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 8.3 to 9.6 V between the test points: 9 V Reference circuit terminal 18 & Ground
    • If less than 8.3 V 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K71 Transmission Control Module
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: 9 V Reference circuit terminal 18 @ 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: 9 V Reference circuit terminal 18 @ 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 9.6 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: 9 V Reference circuit terminal 18 @ 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 8.3 and 9.6 V 
  5. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
  6. Install & Setup - EL-38522 Variable Signal Generator
    • Voltage - 5 V
    • Frequency - 300 Hz
    • Duty Cycle - 50%
    • Black lead @ Ground
    • Red lead @ Signal circuit terminal 6
  7. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
  8. Verify the scan tool parameter: Transmission Input Speed = 290 to 310 RPM
    • If not between 290 and 310 RPM 
    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: Signal circuit terminal 6 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If less than 1 V
    5. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    6. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 6 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    7. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 6 @ 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
    • Go to next step: If between 290 and 310 RPM 
  9. Remove the component: Control Valve Body Cover
  10. Connect the electrical connector: X1 @ T12 Automatic Transmission Assembly
  11. Disconnect the electrical connector: B14C Transmission Input Shaft Speed Sensor
  12. Install & Setup - EL-38522 Variable Signal Generator
    • Voltage - 5 V
    • Frequency - 300 Hz
    • Duty Cycle - 50%
    • Black lead @ Ground
    • Red lead @ Signal circuit terminal 1
  13. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
  14. Verify the scan tool parameter: Transmission Input Speed = 290 to 310 RPM
    • If not between 290 and 310 RPM 

      Replace the component: Automatic Transmission Wiring Harness

    • Go to next step: If between 290 and 310 RPM 
  15. Test for 8.3 to 9.6 V between the test points: 9 V Reference circuit terminal 2 & Ground
    • If not between 8.3 and 9.6 V 

      Replace the component: Automatic Transmission Wiring Harness

    • Go to next step: If between 8.3 and 9.6 V 
  16. Test or replace the component: B14C Transmission Input Shaft Speed Sensor
