Pinpoint Test K: The Transmission Manual Shift (+/-) Is Inoperative

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. K1 CHECK CIRCUITS 8-TA67 (WH/VT) AND 8-TA68 (WH/BK) INPUT TO THE PCM 
    • Disconnect: PCM C175a.
    • Measure the resistance between PCM C175a pin 49, circuit 8-TA67 (WH/VT), harness side and ground; and between PCM C175a pin 50, circuit 8-TA68 (WH/BK), harness side and ground, while activating the shifter to the manual up and down position.

    • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 
      1. Yes  : GO to  K4.
      2. No  : GO to K2.
  2. K2 CHECK TRANSMISSION SHIFT SELECTOR CIRCUITS 31-TA67 (BK/WH) AND 31-TA68 (BK/RD) FOR OPEN 
    • Disconnect: Transmission Shift Selector 307.
    • Measure the resistance between transmission shift selector C307 pin 9, circuit 31-TA67 (BK/WH), harness side and ground; and between shifter C307 pin 4, circuit 31-TA68 (BK/RD), harness side and ground.

    • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 
      1. Yes  : GO to K3.
      2. No  : REPAIR the circuits. TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. K3 CHECK CIRCUITS 8-TA67 (WH/VT) AND 8-TA68 (WH/BK) FOR OPEN 
    • Measure the resistance between shifter C307 pin 10, circuit 8-TA67 (WH/VT), harness side and PCM C175a pin 49, circuit 8-TA67 (WH/VT) harness side; and C307 pin 5, circuit 8-TA68 (WH/BK), harness side, and PCM C175a pin 50, circuit 8-TA68 (WH/BK), harness side.

    • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 
      1. Yes  : INSTALL a new shifter harness. TEST the system for normal operation.
      2. No  : REPAIR the circuits. TEST the system for normal operation.
  4. K4 CHECK CIRCUITS 8-TA67 (WH/VT) AND 8-TA68 (WH/BK) FOR SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Disconnect: Shifter C307.
    • Measure the resistance between PCM C175a pin 49, circuit 8-TA67 (WH/VT), harness side and ground; and between PCM C175a pin 50, circuit 8-TA68 (WH/BK), harness side and ground.

    • Are the resistances greater than 10,000 ohms? 
      1. Yes  : GO to K5.
      2. No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST system for normal operation.
  5. K5 CHECK THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT SELECTOR SWITCHES 
    • Connect: Transmission Shift Selector C307.
    • Measure the resistance between PCM C175a pin 49, circuit 8-TA67 (WH/VT), harness side and ground; and between PCM C175a pin 50, circuit 8-TA68 (WH/BK), harness side and ground while activating the manual up and down position.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms with the switch on and greater than 10,000 ohms with the switch off? 
      1. Yes  : INSTALL a new PCM.
      2. No  : INSTALL a new harness. TEST the system for normal operation.
