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.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X175 harness connector at the transmission.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal N and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the TCM.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal A and the B+ circuit terminal N.
- Command the Shift Solenoid 1 ON and OFF with a scan tool and verify the Shift Solenoid 1 parameter changes from On to Off. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the TCM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the TCM.
- Ignition OFF, install the X175 harness connector.
- Remove the transmission oil pan. Refer to Oil Pan Replacement .
- Disconnect the SS1 solenoid connector.
- Connect a test lamp between terminals A and B of the internal harness.
- Ignition ON, engine OFF, command the Shift Solenoid 1 ON and OFF with a scan tool and verify the Shift Solenoid 1 parameter changes from On to Off. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If not the expected results, replace the transmission internal wiring harness. Refer to Wiring Harness Replacement .
- If all circuits Test normal, test or replace the SS1 solenoid.
