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 component: B14D Transmission Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor
  3. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
  4. Test for 8.5 to 9.5 V between the test points: 9 V Reference circuit terminal 1 @ Component harness & Ground
    • If less than 8.5 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 1 @ 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 1 @ 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 9.5 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 1 @ 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 8.5 and 9.5 V 
  5. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
  6. Install & Setup EL-38522 Variable Signal Generator
    • Voltage - 8 V
    • Frequency - 300 Hz
    • Duty Cycle - 50%
    • Red lead @ Signal circuit terminal 2
    • Black lead @ Ground
  7. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
  8. Verify the scan tool parameter: Transmission Intermediate Speed Sensor = 380 to 420 RPM
    • If not between 380 and 420 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 2 @ 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 2 @ 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 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.
      • If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K71 Transmission Control Module
    • Go to next step: If between 380 and 420 RPM 
  9. Test or replace the component: B14D Transmission Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor
