Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 GMC Sierra, 2010 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2010 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2010 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X175 harness connector at the transmission.
  2. Ignition ON, engine OFF, verify with a scan tool the TR Sw. A/B/C/P parameters are all On.
    • If not the specified value, test the affected IMS signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the TCM.
  3. Connect a 3A fused jumper wire between the IMS signal circuit terminals listed below and low reference circuit terminal H. Verify with a scan tool that the TR Sw. A/B/C/P parameters changed from On to Off.
    1. IMS signal circuit A terminal V
    2. IMS signal circuit B terminal U
    3. IMS signal circuit C terminal T
    4. IMS signal circuit P terminal W
    • If not the specified value, test the affected IMS signal circuits and low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the TCM.
  4. Ignition OFF, remove the transmission oil pan and transmission internal filter. Refer to Oil Pan Replacement .
  5. Test the internal wiring harness IMS signal circuits and low reference circuits for an open/high resistance and short to ground.
  6. Replace the internal wiring harness. Refer to Wiring Harness Replacement .
