Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Sierra, 2009 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2009 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2009 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Inspect the transmission fluid level. Refer to Transmission Fluid Check .
- Perform a line pressure test. Refer to Line Pressure Check
.
- If line pressure is low in all ranges, refer to Low Main Line Pressure in All Ranges .
- If line pressure is low in a specific range or ranges, refer to Low Main Line Pressure in Specific Ranges, Normal Pressure in Other Ranges .
- Remove and Replace the control main filter, refer to Automatic Transmission Fluid and Filter Replacement .
- Engine running, command the transmission through the forward ranges with a scan tool. Compare the TFP Switch 1, TFP Switch 2, TFP Switch 3, and TFP Switch 4 parameters in each forward range with the Pressure Switch Manifold Logic table. Refer to Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM) Logic .
- Ignition OFF, remove the X175 harness connector at the transmission.
- Ignition ON, engine OFF, connect a 3A fused jumper wire to the PS1 signal circuit terminal D to ground
- PS2 signal circuit terminal F to ground
- PS3 signal circuit terminal E to ground
- PS4 signal circuit terminal K to ground
- Verify with a scan tool the TFP Switch 1, TFP Switch 2, TFP Switch 3, and TFP Switch 4 parameters changed from High to Low when the signal circuit is grounded
- If not the specified value, test affected pressure switch signal for an open/high resistance and short to ground. If circuits test normal, replace the TCM.
- Ignition OFF, connect the X175 harness connector to the transmission.
- Remove the transmission oil pan. Refer to Oil Pan Replacement .
- Remove the pressure switch module from the valve body. Leave the internal wire harness connected to the pressure switch manifold. Refer to Pressure Switch Manifold Replacement .
- Connect a jumper wire to the base of the pressure switch module and ground.
- Ignition ON, engine OFF, gently push on PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4 switches. Verify with a scan tool that the TFP Switch 1, TFP Switch 2, and TFP Switch 3 parameters changed from High to Low and TFP Switch 4 parameter changed from Low to High.
- If not the specified value, test the internal wire harness circuits for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the pressure switch module.
NOTE:
You must perform the Circuit/System Verification first.
