Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

1) CHECK IF THE DTC P0882 IS CURRENT
With the scan tool, Check the STARTS SINCE SET counter for P0882.

NOTE: This counter only applies to the last DTC set.

Is the STARTS SINCE SET counter equal to 0?

Yes
1. Go To step 2).
No
1. Go To step 5).
2) CHECK FOR TIPM RELATED DTCS
With the scan tool, check TIPM DTCs.

Are there any TCM TIPM DTCs present?

Yes
1. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure(s).
No
1. Go To step 3).
3) CHECK THE (T15) TRANSMISSION CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

Turn the ignition off to the lock position.

Disconnect the PCM C4 harness connector and connect Miller tool #8815.

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.

Disconnect the TIPM C1 harness connector.

Measure the resistance between ground and the (T15) Transmission Control circuit.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes
1. Repair the (T15) Transmission Control circuit for a short to ground.
2. Perform 40/41 TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
No
1. Go To step 4).
4) CHECK THE (T15) TRANSMISSION CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

Measure the resistance of the (T15) Transmission Control circuit between the TIPM C1 harness connector and the appropriate terminal of Miller tool #8815.

Is the resistance above 5.0 ohms?

Yes
1. Repair the (T15) Transmission Control circuit for an open.
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. 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 .
5) CHECK THE 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.

Where there any problems found?

Yes
1. Repair as necessary.
2. Perform 40/41 TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
No
1. Test Complete.
