Test Description
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
- 3: This step tests the indicated range signal to the manual valve range actually selected.
- 6: This step tests for correct voltage from the PCM.
DTC P1815
| 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 | Did you perform the Transmission Fluid Checking Procedure? | - | Go to Step 3 | Go to Transmission Fluid Checking |
