  1. 5:  This step determines that shift solenoid 4 or the U1 shift valve is stuck if the TCC applies in 2nd gear and stalls the engine.
  2. 6:  This step determines if the output shaft speed sensor signal is skewed by a large factor.
  3. 7:  This step determines if the input shaft speed sensor signal is skewed by a large factor.
