Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Sierra and 2009 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    NOTE: Additional DTC's may set when disconnecting the automatic transmission inline 20-way connector.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the AT harness connector at the transmission.
  2. Install the J 44152:  harness (20 Pins) on the engine side of the AT inline 20-way connector.
  3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal E and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition circuit fuse is open, test all components connected to the ignition circuit and replace as necessary.
  4. Ignition OFF, connect the red lead of the J 38522:  generator to the signal circuit terminal K. Connect the battery voltage supply to B+, and ground the black lead.
  5. Set the J 38522:  generator signal to 12 volts, the Frequency to 300, and the Duty Cycle to 50 percent.
  6. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Transmission ISS parameter. The scan tool Transmission ISS parameter should be between 500-700 RPM.
    • If not within the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage, a short to ground, or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the TCM.
  7. Ignition OFF, remove the transmission oil pan. Refer to Automatic Transmission Fluid and Filter Replacement .
  8. Test the internal transmission wiring harness for the ISS for the conditions listed below. The circuits should test normal.
    • Open
    • Short to ground
    • Short to voltage
  9. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the input speed sensor.
