Test NTC-2B - Checking Overdrive Circuit
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Dodge Pickup and 1995 Dodge Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

section at the end of this article.
- Using scan tool, ensure transmission temperature is between 69°F (21°C) and 275°F (135°C). If transmission temperature is not between 69°F (21°C) and 275°F (135°C), replace transmission temperature sensor and retest vehicle for overdrive operation. Perform TEST VER-1.
- If transmission temperature is between 69°F (21°C) and 275°F (135°C), ensure throttle lever is fully closed and against idle speed screw. Using scan tool, read Throttle Position (TP) sensor voltage. If TP sensor voltage is not 0.89-1.20 volts, adjust or replace TP sensor. Retest vehicle for overdrive operation. Perform TEST VER-1.
- If TP sensor voltage is 0.89-1.20 volts, read overdrive switch state using scan tool. Turn overdrive switch on and off while observing scan tool display. If overdrive switch state changes between 4 ALLOW and 3 SPD, repair transmission as necessary. Perform TEST VER-1. If overdrive switch state does not change between 4 ALLOW and 3 SPD, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM connector. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connector terminal No. 10, overdrive switch sense circuit (Orange/White wire). Turn overdrive switch on and off while observing scan tool. If scan tool display switches between less than 5 ohms and more than 5 ohms, replace PCM. Perform TEST VER-1.
- If scan tool display does not change between less than 5 ohms and more than 5 ohms, disconnect overdrive switch harness connector. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of PCM connector terminal No. 10, overdrive switch sense circuit (Orange/White wire).
- If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Orange/White wire. Perform TEST VER-1. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, replace overdrive switch. Perform TEST VER-1.
