Diagnostic Aids
Scan tool displays transmission fluid temperature in degrees Centigrade. After transmission is operating, displayed temperature should rise steadily to about 212°F (100°C) then stabilize. A poor connection or an open circuits No. 455/1227 will result in DTC 59. Test transmission sensor at various temperature levels to determine if sensor is out of calibration. See TEMPERATURE-TO-RESISTANCE VALUES (DTC 59) table. An out-of-calibration sensor could result in firm shifts or TCC enable complaint.
