CHECK THE PCM AND WIRING
1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Remove the Starter Relay.
  CAUTION:
  Removal of the Starter Relay will prevent the vehicle from being started in gear.
  
  WARNING:
  The Starter Relay must be removed from the PDC. Failure to do so may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
  
  NOTE:
  Failure to remove the Starter Relay can cause a Transmission - No Response condition.
3. Install the Transmission Simulator (special tool #8333B, Simulator, Transmission) and the Electronic Transmission Adapter kit.
4. On the Transmission Simulator select the "OFF" position of the "Input/Output Speed" switch.
5. Ignition on, engine not running.
6. With the scan tool, monitor the Line Pressure during the following steps.
7. Using the Transmission Simulator, set the rotary knob to each of the three line pressure positions.
  NOTE:
  All three scan tool Line Pressure readings should be steady and ± 14 kPa or 2.0 psi (0.2 of a volt) of the reading specified on the Transmission Simulator.
  
  Did the Line Pressure read within ± 14 kPa or 2.0 psi (0.2 of a volt) in all three positions?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 4
  No
  - Go To 6
CHECK THE LINE PRESSURE SENSOR
1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the Transmission Simulator (special tool #8333B, Simulator, Transmission) and reconnect all previously disconnected connectors.
3. Install a Pressure Gauge, 0 to 2000 kPa or 0 to 300 psi to the Line Pressure test port.
4. Start the engine in park.
5. Monitor the line pressure readings of both the scan tool and the pressure gauge and compare the two readings.
  Is the line pressure gauge reading within 34 kPa or 5 psi of the scan tool reading?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 5
  No
  - Replace the Transmission Solenoid/TRS Assembly in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to ASSEMBLY, TRANSMISSION SOLENOID AND PRESSURE SWITCH, REMOVAL .
  - Perform the 62TE VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 62TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECK FOR A PLUGGED TRANSMISSION OIL FILTER
1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Remove and inspect the Transmission Oil Pan for excessive debris in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to FLUID, STANDARD PROCEDURE .
3. Remove and inspect the Transmission Oil Filter in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to FLUID, STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  Does the Oil Pan contain excessive debris and/or is the Transmission Oil Filter plugged?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary. If the Transmission Oil Filter is plugged or there is excessive debris, refer to the Service Information for the proper Hydraulic repair procedure. Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING .
  - Perform the 62TE VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 62TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Repair internal transmission and inspect the Transmission Oil Pump in accordance with the Service Information and replace if necessary. Refer to TORQUE CONVERTER, REMOVAL .
  - Perform the 62TE VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 62TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECK THE (F856) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
3. Disconnect the Transmission Simulator (special tool #8333B, Simulator, Transmission) and the Electronic Transmission Adapter kit.
4. Ignition on, engine not running.
5. Measure the voltage of the (F856) 5-volt Supply circuit.
  Is the voltage above 5.5 volts?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (F856) 5-volt Supply circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform the 62TE VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 62TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 7
CHECK THE (F856) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

Fig 2: Checking 5-Volt Supply Circuit For An Open
Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC
1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Measure the resistance of the (F856) 5-volt Supply circuit between the Transmission Solenoid/TRS Assembly harness connector and the appropriate terminal of the PCM C1 harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (F856) 5-volt Supply circuit for an open.
  - Perform the 62TE VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 62TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 8
CHECK THE (F856) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

Fig 3: Checking 5-Volt Supply Circuit For A Short To Ground
