Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. 1)  CHECK TO SEE IF DTC IS CURRENT 

    With the scan tool, view DTCs.

    Is the status Active for this DTC or is STARTS SINCE SET counter 2 or less? 

    Yes 

    1. Go To step  2).

    No 

    1. Go To step  6).
  2. 2)  CHECK THE PCM AND WIRING WITH THE TRANSMISSION SIMULATOR 

    Turn the ignition off to the lock position.

    Remove the Ignition Switch Feed fuse from the TIPM.

    CAUTION: Removal of the Ignition Switch Feed fuse from the TIPM will prevent the vehicle from being started in gear.
    WARNING: The Ignition Switch Feed fuse must be removed from the TIPM. Failure to do so can result in personal injury or death.

    Install the Transmission Simulator, Miller tool #8333 and the Electronic Transmission Adapter kit 8333-1A.

    NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.

    Ignition on, engine not running.

    With the Transmission Simulator, turn the Input/Output switch to OFF.

    With the scan tool, monitor the TRANS TEMP VOLTS while turning the Thermistor Voltage switch to all three positions on the Transmission Simulator.

    Compare the scan tool readings with the numbers listed on the Transmission Simulator.

    Do the readings on the Transmission Simulator match the scan tool readings +/- 0.2 volts? 

    Yes 

    1. Replace Transmission Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly per the Service Information.
    2. Perform 40/41 TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1  .

    No 

    1. Go To step  3).
  3. 3)  CHECK THE (T54) TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

    Turn the ignition off to the lock position.

    Disconnect the PCM C4 harness connector.

    Disconnect the TRS harness connector

    NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.
    CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller Tool #8815 to perform diagnosis.

    Measure the resistance of the Transmission Temperature Sensor Signal circuit between the appropriate terminal of Miller tool #8815 and the TRS harness connector.

    Is the resistance above 5.0 ohms? 

    Yes 

    1. Repair the Transmission Temperature Sensor Signal circuit for an open.
    2. Perform 40/41 TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1  .

    No 

    1. Go To step  4).
  4. 4)  CHECK THE (T13) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    Fig 2: Checking Sensor Ground Circuit(s)

    Disconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.

    NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.

    Measure the resistance of the (T13) Sensor Ground circuit between the appropriate terminal of Miller tool #8815 and the TRS harness connector.

    Is the resistance above 5.0 ohms? 

    Yes 

    1. Repair the (T13) Sensor Ground circuit for an open.
    2. Perform 40/41 TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1  .

    No 

    1. Go To step  5).
  5. 5)  CHECK THE (T54) TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

    Ignition on, engine not running.

    With the scan tool in the TIPM, actuate the TCM output.

    Measure the voltage of the (T54) Transmission Temperature Sensor Signal circuit in the appropriate terminal of Miller tool #8815.

    Is the voltage above 0.5 volts? 

    Yes 

    1. Repair the (T54) Transmission Temperature Sensor Signal circuit for a short to voltage.
    2. Perform 40/41 TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1  .

    No 

    1. Using the schematics as a guide, check the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits. Check for Service Information Tune-ups or Service Bulletins for any possible causes that may apply. If no problems are found, replace the PCM per the Service Information. With the scan tool, perform QUICK LEARN.
    2. Perform 40/41 TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1  .
  6. 6)  INTERMITTENT WIRING AND CONNECTORS 

    The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.

    Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors specific to this circuit.

    Wiggle the wires while checking for shorted and open circuits.

    With the scan tool, check the DTC EVENT DATA to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.

    Check for any Service Information Tune-ups or Service Bulletins for any possible causes that may apply.

    Were there any problems found? 

    Yes 

    1. Repair as necessary.
    2. Perform 40/41 TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1  .

    No 

    1. Test Complete.
