Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Dodge Charger and 2010 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CHECK FOR TCM TIPM DTCS
1. With the scan tool under TIPM, check for TCM Power Control circuit DTCs.
  Are there any TIPM TCM Power Control circuit DTCS present?
  
  Yes
  - Refer to the Transmission category and perform the appropriate symptom.
  No
  - Go to step 2
CHECK TO SEE IF DTC P0883 IS CURRENT
1. With the scan tool, check the STARTS SINCE SET counter.
  NOTE: This counter only applies to the last DTC set.
  
  Is the STARTS SINCE SET counter set to 0?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 3
  No
  - Go to step 6
(T16) TRANSMISSION OUTPUT CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE

1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the PCM C4 harness connector and connect Miller tool #8815.
3. Disconnect the TIPM C10 harness connector.
  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.
4. Ignition on, engine not running.
5. Measure the voltage of the (T16) Transmission Control Output circuits in the Miller tool #8815.
  Is the voltage above 0.5 volts on any (T16) Transmission Control Output circuit?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 4
  No
  - Go to step 5
CHECK THE TRANSMISSION SOLENOID/TRS ASSEMBLY

1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the Transmission Solenoid/TRS Assembly harness connector.
3. Ignition on, engine not running.
4. Measure the voltage of the (T16) Transmission Control Output circuits in the Miller tool #8815.
  Is the voltage above 0.5 volts?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T16) Transmission Control Output circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform 42RLE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure
  No
  - Replace the Transmission Solenoid/TRS Assembly per the Service Information.
  - Perform 42RLE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure
CHECK THE (T515) TRANSMISSION CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

1. Measure the voltage of the (T515) Transmission Control circuit.
  Is the voltage above 0.5 volts?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T515) Transmission Control circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform 42RLE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure
  No
  - 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
  - Perform 42RLE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure
CHECK WIRING AND CONNECTORS
1. The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.
2. Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors specific to this circuit.
3. Wiggle the wires while checking for shorted and open circuits.
4. 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
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Perform 42RLE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure
  No
  - Test Complete.
