Test Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Cadillac DTS. 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.
- 3: This step tests the IMS for an open ground circuit.
- 5: This step tests for correct reference voltage from the TCM.
DTC P1825
| Step | Action | Values | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? | - | Go to Step 2 | Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle |
| 2 |
IMPORTANT:
Before clearing the DTC, use the scan tool in order to record the Freeze Frame and Failure Records. Using the Clear Info function erases the Freeze Frame and Failure Records from the TCM.

- | Go to Step 11 | Go to Step 12 |
| 9 | Test the signal circuits of the IMS that did not indicate HI for a short to ground between the TCM connector 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 18 | Go to Step 17 |
| 10 | Test the signal circuits of the IMS that did not indicate ignition voltage for an open between the TCM connector and the AT inline 20-way connector. Refer to Testing for Continuity and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition? |
- | Go to Step 18 | Go to Step 17 |
| 11 | Test the affected signal circuits of the IMS for a shorted together condition between the TCM connector and the AT inline 20-way connector. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition? |
- | Go to Step 18 | Go to Step 17 |
| 12 | Test the signal circuits of the IMS for an open or shorted condition between the AT inline 20-way connector and the IMS. Refer to Circuit Testing . Did you find a condition? |
- | Go to Step 15 | Go to Step 16 |
| 13 | Test the ground circuit of the IMS for an open between the AT inline 20-way connector and the ground distribution block. Refer to Testing for Continuity and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition? |
- | Go to Step 18 | Go to Step 14 |
| 14 | Test the ground circuit of the IMS for an open between the AT inline 20-way connector and the IMS. Refer to Testing for Continuity . Did you find a condition? |
- | Go to Step 15 | Go to Step 16 |

IMPORTANT:
The automatic transmission wiring harness consists of 2 separate harnesses, the Automatic Transmission Wiring Harness Assembly and the Automatic Transmission Wiring Extension Harness Assembly. In order to avoid the unnecessary replacement of parts, determine which harness contains the fault and replace only that harness. Replace the automatic transmission wiring harness.Refer to Input Speed Sensor and Wiring Harness Removal
.Did you complete the replacement? |
- | Go to Step 18 | - |
| 16 | Replace the transmission internal mode switch. Refer to Lower Control Valve Body Assembly Disassemble . Did you complete the replacement? |
- | Go to Step 18 | - |
| 17 | Replace the TCM. Refer to Control Module References . Did you complete the replacement? |
- | Go to Step 18 | - |
| 18 | Perform the following procedure in order to verify the repair:
Has the test run and passed? |
- | Go to Step 19 | Go to Step 2 |
| 19 | 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 |
