  2. 5:  This step tests speed sensor readings.
  3. 6:  This step tests for turbine speed not remaining at zero in REVERSE range.
DTC P0736

Step Action Value Yes No
Schematic Reference: Automatic Transmission Controls Schematics
1 Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Automatic Transmission? - Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Automatic Transmission
2 Measure the transmission fluid level. Refer to Transmission Fluid Checking Procedure .

  1. Start the engine.
  2. Select REVERSE range.
  3. Using the scan tool, observe the gear ratio.
Is the correct REVERSE range ratio shown?		 -4.49 Go to Step 5  Go to Diagnostic Aids
5 
  1. Turn the ignition ON.
  2. Start the engine and run at idle.
  3. Using the scan tool, monitor engine, turbine, and output speed readings in REVERSE range with the vehicle brakes applied.
Is speed sensor data erratic?		 - Go to the appropriate speed sensor DTC Go to Step 6 
6 
    NOTE: Do not perform a full RPM stall test in reverse range, or vehicle damage may occur.
  1. Apply vehicle brakes and select REVERSE.
  2. With the engine at idle and REVERSE range attained, turbine speed should go to zero.
  3. Using the scan tool, monitor turbine speed while increasing engine speed to 1,000 RPM.
Did turbine speed remain at zero?		 - Go to Diagnostic Aids Go to Step 7 
7
  1. Remove the transmission oil pan. Refer to Automatic Transmission Fluid/Filter Replacement .
  2. Inspect for contaminated fluid and excessive material in the pan.
Is the fluid contaminated or excessive material found in the pan?		 - Go to Step 8  Go to Step 9 
8 Remove the transmission for overhaul or replacement. Refer to Transmission Replacement (With 6.6L Engine) or Transmission Replacement (With 8.1L (L18) Engine) .
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 11  -
9 Inspect for a stuck or sticking trim valve. Refer to Control Valve Body Cleaning and Inspection .
Did you find and correct a condition?		 - Go to Step 11  Go to Step 10 
10 Replace B solenoid. Refer to Control Valve Solenoid Replacement (Solenoid A, B) or Control Valve Solenoid Replacement (Solenoid C, D, E, F, G) .
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 11  -
11 Perform the following procedure in order to verify the repair:
  1. Clear the DTC.
  2. Start the engine.
  3. Using the scan tool, monitor REVERSE gear ratio and operate the vehicle under normal operating conditions.
  4. Select Specific DTC.
  5. Enter DTC P0736.

Has test run and passed?		 - System OK Go to Step 1
