Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 GMC Yukon XL and 2007 Chevrolet Suburban. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 3:  This step tests the indicated range signal to the actual selected range. A faulty TFP manual valve position switch can set a DTC P0894.
  2. 4:  This step tests for excessive TCC slip speed while in a commanded TCC lock-up state and in fourth gear; and confirms that the fault is present.
  3. 5:  This step tests for excessive TCC slip speed while in a commanded TCC lock-up state and in third gear.
  4. 6:  This step tests for a sticking TCC shift valve.
  5. 7:  This step tests for proper transmission line pressure.
