| Possible Component |
Reference/Action |
| 253B - ELECTRICAL ROUTINE |
| Powertrain Control System |
- Electrical inputs/outputs, vehicle wiring harnesses, internal transmission wiring harnesses, PCM, SSA, SSB, SSC, SSD
|
- Carry out shift point and TCC tests. Run on-board diagnostics. REFER to the INTRODUCTION - CNG, FLEX-FUEL & GASOLINE
article.
Use scan tool to carry out Pinpoint Test. Repair as required. Clear codes, road test and rerun on-board diagnostics.

| 353B - HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL ROUTINE |
| Main Control Assembly |
- Screw out of torque specification
|
- Tighten to specification.
|
- Gasket damaged, off location
|
- Inspect and install a new gasket.
|
|
|
- Inspect for damage. Repair as required.
|
- SSA, SSB, SSC, SSD, solenoid stuck, damaged, O-ring damaged or out of bore
|
- Inspect for damage. Carry out solenoid function test as listed in electrical routine. Repair as required.
|
- SSC solenoid and valve (215), spring, damaged, missing, misassembled, stuck, bore damaged (210, 202, 201)
|
- Inspect for damage. If damaged, install a new main control. If parts are missing, install new parts or main control. If misassembled, reassemble correctly. Do not stone, file or sand valves. This will remove the anodized finish and result in further main control or transmission damage.
