Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 GMC Yukon, 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 2012 Cadillac Escalade. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition ON, test for 8.3-9.3 V between the automatic transmission output shaft speed sensor ignition circuit terminal A and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ignition circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.
- Ignition Off, connect the red lead of J 38522 generator to the signal circuit terminal B and the black lead to the ignition circuit terminal A.
- Adjust the J 38522 generator to 8 V, the Frequency to 120 Hz and the Percent Duty Cycle to 50 percent.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Transmission OSS parameter is between 100-400 RPM.
- If not within the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage short to ground open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B14A Automatic Transmission Output Shaft Speed Sensor.
