Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Yukon and 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Disconnect the OSS connector.
- Test for 8.3-9.3 volts between the OSS supply voltage circuit and ground.
- If less than 8.3 volts, test the OSS supply voltage circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground.
- If the OSS supply voltage circuit tests normal, replace the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly.
- If greater than 9.3 volts, test the OSS supply voltage circuit for a short to voltage.
- Using a terminal test kit, connect the red lead of J 38522 to the OSS signal circuit terminal B and the black lead to the OSS supply voltage circuit terminal A.
- Set the J 38522 Signal to 8 volts, the Frequency to 120 and the Percent Duty Cycle to 50.
- With the ignition ON, observe the Transmission OSS parameter, The Transmission OSS parameter should display between 100-400 RPM.
- If the Transmission OSS is not within the specified range, test the Transmission OSS signal circuit for an open/high resistance, short to ground, or a short to voltage.
- If the circuit tests normal, replace the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly.
- If the Transmission OSS is within the specified range, visually inspect the OSS and the output shaft machined surface for damage or misalignment. If OK, replace the OSS.
