  1. Install the J 44152  Jumper Harness (20 pins) on the transmission side of the AT inline 20-way connector. See Special Tools .
  2. Using the DMM and the J 35616  GM Terminal Test Kit, measure the resistance between the TFT sensor signal and low reference circuits of the J 44152  . See Special Tools .

    Refer to Automatic Transmission Inline 20-Way Connector End View (M30/M32) or Automatic Transmission Inline 20-Way Connector End View (M33 Only) .

Does the resistance measure within the specified range?		 3,088-3,942 Ω at 20°C (68°F)

6 Test the signal circuit of the TFT sensor for a short to ground between the AT inline 20-way connector and the TFT sensor.
Refer to Testing for Short to Ground .
Did you find a short to ground condition?		 - Go to Step 9  Go to Step 8 
7 Test the signal circuit of the TFT sensor for a short to ground between the PCM and the AT inline 20-way connector.
Refer to Testing for Short to Ground and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 11  Go to Step 10 
8 Replace the TFT sensor, this sensor is part of the TFP manual valve position switch.
Refer to Valve Body and Pressure Switch Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 11  -
9 Replace the AT wiring harness assembly.
Refer to Valve Body and Pressure Switch Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 11  -
10 Replace the PCM.
Refer to Control Module References .
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 11  -
11 Perform the following procedure in order to verify the repair:
  1. Select DTC.
  2. Select Clear Info.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Verify that the scan tool indicates a TFT Sensor signal voltage greater than 0.2 volts for 10 seconds.
  5. Select Specific DTC.
  6. Enter DTC P0712.

Has the test run and passed?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 2 
12 With the scan tool, observe the stored information, capture info, and DTC Info.
Does the scan tool display any DTCs that you have not diagnosed?		 - Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle System OK
