WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

POSSIBLE COMPONENT REFERENCE CHART

Possible Component	Reference/Action
213 - ELECTRICAL ROUTINE
Powertrain Control System	Run On-Board Diagnostic (OBD). Refer to INTRODUCTION article for diagnosis. Go to PINPOINT TEST A , Go to PINPOINT TEST B and Go to PINPOINT TEST C .
Electrical inputs/outputs, vehicle wiring harnesses, PCM, Line Pressure Control (LPC) solenoid, Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, Throttle Position (TP) sensor, Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor, Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor, Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor, Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor and Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) sensor
Solenoid Body	Verify solenoid body strategy data stored in the PCM, download new identification and strategy as necessary. Refer to SOLENOID BODY STRATEGY in this service information.
Incorrect solenoid body strategy data stored in the PCM
313 - HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL ROUTINE
Transmission Fluid
Low transmission fluid level	Check transmission fluid level and adjust as necessary. Refer to PRELIMINARY INSPECTION in this service information.
Transmission fluid condition	Carry out transmission fluid condition check. Refer to PRELIMINARY INSPECTION in this service information.
Selector Lever Linkage (Internal/External)	Inspect for damage. Repair as required. Verify selector lever cable adjustment. Refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION EXTERNAL CONTROLS - 6F35 article.
Damaged, out of adjustment
Incorrect Pressures
Line pressure - low	Carry out Line Pressure and Stall Speed Tests. Refer to SPECIAL TESTING PROCEDURES in this service information. See the LINE PRESSURE CHART for specifications. If pressures are low or all shifts are soft/slipping refer to MAIN CONTROL VALVE BODY in this service information.
	If pressures are OK and a specific shift is soft/slipping, see the following chart: Soft/Slipping Shift 1-2, Routine 230/330 Soft/Slipping Shift 2-3, Routine 231/331 Soft/Slipping Shift 3-4, Routine 232/332 Soft/Slipping Shift 4-5, Routine 233/333 Soft/Slipping Shift 5-6, Routine 234/334 Soft/Slipping Shift 6-5, Routine 235/335 Soft/Slipping Shift 5-4, Routine 236/336 Soft/Slipping Shift 4-3, Routine 237/337 Soft/Slipping Shift 3-2, Routine 238/338 Soft/Slipping Shift 2-1, Routine 239/339

Plugged, damaged, not correctly seated	Inspect for damage. Install a new filter and seal assembly.
Filter, seal - damaged	Inspect for damage. Install a new filter and seal assembly.
Main Controls
Plugged solenoid body filter	Inspect for damage. Install new as required.
Bolts out of torque specification	Tighten bolts to specification.
Gaskets and separator plate - damaged, off location	Inspect for damage. Install new as required.
Sticking or binding valves, check balls, clips, springs - damaged, missing	Inspect for damage. Repair or install new as required.
Pump Assembly	Inspect for damage. Install new as required.
