Electrical Function Check

Perform this procedure first in order to ensure the electronic transmission components are functioning properly. If these components are not checked, a simple electrical condition could be misdiagnosed.

1. Connect the scan tool.
2. Ensure the gear selector is in PARK and set the parking brake.
3. Start the engine.
4. Verify that the following scan tool data can be obtained and is functioning properly.

   Refer to Control Module References for typical data values. Data that is questionable may indicate a concern.

   • Engine Speed
   • Transmission ISS
   • Transmission OSS
   • Vehicle Speed
   • IMS
   • Commanded Gear
   • Gear Ratio
   • Line PC Sol. Pressure Cmd.
   • Brake Switch
   • ECT, Engine Data List
   • Trans. Fluid Temp.
   • TCM Temperature
   • Calc. Throttle Position
   • Ignition Voltage
   • TFP Switch 1
   • TFP Switch 3
   • TFP Switch 4
   • TFP Switch 5
   • PC Sol. 2 Pressure Cmd.
   • PC Sol. 3 Pressure Cmd.
   • PC Sol. 4 Pressure Cmd.
   • PC Sol. 5 Pressure Cmd.
   • Shift Solenoid 1
   • Shift Solenoid 2
   • TCC PC Sol. Duty Cycle
   • TCC Slip Speed
5. Check the garage shifts.
   1. Apply the brake pedal and ensure the parking brake is set.
   2. Move the gear selector through the following ranges:
      1. PARK to REVERSE
      2. REVERSE to NEUTRAL
      3. NEUTRAL to DRIVE
      4. DRIVE to REVERSE
      5. REVERSE to DRIVE
   3. Pause 2 to 3 seconds in each gear position.
   4. Verify the gear engagements are immediate (less than 2 seconds to complete if transmission fluid temperature is above20°C (68°F) and not harsh. Note that these shifts may be almost imperceptible in some applications. Using the scan tool to monitor Transmission ISS achieving 0 rpm can be used to check delay in these cases.
NOTE:
Harsh engagement may be caused by any of the following conditions:
• High engine idle speed - Compare engine idle speed to desired idle speed.
• A default condition caused by certain DTCs that result in maximum line pressure to prevent clutch slippage.
• Incomplete adapting or incorrect adapting - Repeat maneuver multiple times to see if shift quality improves. If it does not, refer to the service procedures for Harsh Garage Shift .
NOTE:
Delayed engagement may be caused by any of the following conditions:
• Low idle speed - Compare engine idle speed to desired idle speed.
• Low fluid level
• Cold transmission fluid temperature (TFT) - Use the scan tool to determine TFT.
• Selector linkage - Inspect and adjust as necessary.
• Incomplete adapting or incorrect adapting - Repeat maneuver multiple times to see if delay improves. If it does not, refer to the service procedures for Harsh Garage Shift .
6. Monitor transmission range on the scan tool, transmission data list.
   1. Apply the brake pedal and ensure the parking brake is set.
   2. Move the gear selector through all ranges.
   3. Pause 2 to 3 seconds in each range.
   4. Return gear selector to PARK.
   5. Verify that all selector positions match the scan tool display.
7. Check throttle position input.
   1. Apply the brake pedal and ensure the parking brake is set.
   2. Ensure the gear selector is in PARK.
   3. Monitor the scan tool Calc. Throttle Position while increasing and decreasing engine speed with the throttle pedal. The scan tool Calc. Throttle Position percentage should increase and decrease with engine speed.

If any of the above checks do not perform properly, record the result for reference after completion of the road test.
