DIAGNOSTIC ROUTINE - TCC DOES NOT APPLY

Possible Component	Reference/Action
250 - ROUTINE
Powertrain Control System
PCM, vehicle wiring harnesses, transmission internal wiring harness, transmission line pressure solenoid PC-A, TCC, TFT, Transmission Range (TR position) sensor, OSS	Carry out on-board diagnostic tests. Refer to the appropriate INTRODUCTION article for diagnosis and testing of the PCM.
	Go To PINPOINT TEST A: CONTROL SOLENOIDS , Go To PINPOINT TEST B: TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE (TFT) SENSOR , Go To PINPOINT TEST C: TRANSMISSION RANGE (TR) POSITION SENSOR , Go To PINPOINT TEST D: TURBINE SHAFT SPEED (TSS), INTERMEDIATE SHAFT SPEED, AND OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED (OSS) SENSORS and Go To PINPOINT TEST E: PC-A (LINE PRESSURE) SOLENOID .
	Repair as necessary. Clear DTCs, road test and rerun on-board diagnostic test.
Incorrect Pressures
Low pressures	Check pressure at line tap.
Low pressures	Carry out Line Pressure Test. Refer to SPECIAL TESTING PROCEDURES .
Solenoid Body Assembly
Bolts not tightened to specification	Tighten to specification.
Filter gasket damaged	Inspect for damage. If damaged, install a new filter gasket.
Contamination	Disassemble and clean.
SSPC-A, SSPC-B, TCC solenoid(s) damaged, misassembled, missing, stuck or bore damaged. Manual valve damaged, misassembled, missing, stuck or bore damaged	If damaged or parts are missing, install a new solenoid body assembly. If misassembled, reassemble correctly.
