Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Sierra and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Perform the Transmission Fluid Check
.
- If the fluid level is at an incorrect level, repair any leaks found and add fluid to the proper level.
- Disconnect the AT inline 20-way connector. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. Observe the TFP Sig. B/Sig. C parameter on the scan tool. The parameter should display HI/HI.
- If the TFP Sig. B/Sig. C parameter does not display HI/HI, repair the short to ground in the TFP signal circuit that displayed LOW.
- Using a DMM, measure the voltage at the engine side of the AT 20-way connector between the TFP signal B circuit and ground and the TFP signal C circuit and ground. The voltage should be near 12 volts for each circuit.
- If the voltage is less than the specified range, test the affected circuit for an open.
- Turn OFF the ignition. Measure the resistance at the transmission side of the AT 20-way connector between the TFP signal B circuit and the transmission case. The resistance should be greater than 10K ohms.
- If the resistance is less than 10K ohms, test the TFP signal B circuit for a short to ground.
- Measure the resistance at the transmission side of the AT 20-way connector between the TFP signal C circuit and the transmission case. The resistance should be greater than 10K ohms.
- If the resistance is less than 10K ohms, test the TFP signal C circuit for a short to ground.
- Measure the resistance of the TFP signal B circuit between the transmission side of the AT 20-way connector and the TFP switch. The resistance should be less than 10 ohms.
- If the resistance is greater than 10 ohms repair the open in the TFP signal B circuit.
- Measure the resistance of the TFP signal C circuit between the transmission side of the AT 20-way connector and the TFP switch. The resistance should be less than 10 ohms.
- If the resistance is greater than 10 ohms repair the open in the TFP signal C circuit.
- If all circuits/connections test normal, replace the TCM.
