    Has a Quick Learn procedure been performed? 

    Yes 

    1. Performing Quick Learn will set this DTC. Erase the DTC.
    2. Perform 42RLE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1  

    No 

    1. Go To step  3).
  3. 3)  PCM REPLACED OR DISCONNECTED 

    Has the PCM been replaced or disconnected? 

    Yes 

    1. Replacing or disconnecting the PCM will set this DTC. Erase the DTC.
    2. Perform 42RLE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1

    Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (A209) Fused B+ circuit.

    NOTE: The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

    Does the test light illuminate brightly? 

    Yes 

    1. Go To step  5).

    No 

    1. Repair the Fused B+ circuit for an open. If the fuse is open make sure to check for a short to ground.

    Turn the ignition off to the lock position.

    Disconnect the PCM C4 harness connector.

    NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.

    Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the (Z904) Ground circuits in the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.

    NOTE: The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

    Does the test light illuminate brightly for all the ground circuits? 

    Yes 

    1. Go To step  6).

    No 

    1. Repair the Ground circuits for an open.
    2. Perform 42RLE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1  
  6. 6)  INTERMITTENT WIRING AND CONNECTORS 

    The conditions necessary to set the 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 EATX DTC EVENT DATA to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.

    Were there any problems found? 

    Yes 

    1. Repair as necessary.
    2. Perform 42RLE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1  

    No 

    1. Test Complete.
