  1. C1 RETRIEVE AND RECORD ALL DTCS 
    • Using the diagnostic scan tool, retrieve all DTCs.

    Are DTCs P0760, P0763, P0764, P0979 and/or P0980 present? 

    1. Yes  : For DTCs P0760, P0763, and P0764, GO to C2  .

      For DTC P0979, GO to  C5.

      For DTC P0980, GO to  C7.

    2. No  : GO to SYMPTOM CHART .
  2. C2 CHECK THE SSC CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Transmission Vehicle Harness C1520A  .
    • Disconnect: TCM C1750  .
    • Inspect the connectors for damaged or pushed-out terminals, corrosion, loose wires and missing or damaged seals.
    • Measure the resistance  between.
