  Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  
  Go To 5
  
  No
  - Repair the (T377) Oil Pressure Signal circuit for an open or high resistance.
  - Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - 948TE 9HP48 .
CHECK THE (T917) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Measure the resistance of the (T917) Sensor Ground circuit between the TCM harness connector and the Transmission Assembly harness connector.
  Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  
  Go To 6
  
  No
  - Repair the (T917) Sensor Ground circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
  - Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - 948TE 9HP48 .
CHECK (T377) OIL PRESSURE SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND OR ANOTHER CIRCUIT
1. Check for continuity between ground and the (T377) Oil Pressure Signal circuit at the TCM harness connector.
2. Check for continuity between the (T377) Oil Pressure Signal circuit and all other circuits at the TCM harness connector.
  Is there continuity between the (T377) Oil Pressure Signal circuit and ground or any other circuit?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T377) Oil Pressure Signal circuit for a short to ground or another circuit.
  - Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - 948TE 9HP48 .
  No
  
  Go To 7
CHECK INTERNAL HARNESS AND CONNECTIONS
1. Check the Transmission internal wiring harness and Oil Pressure Sensor electrical connections for open circuits, shorts, and loose connections.
  Were any problems found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the condition as necessary.
  - Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - 948TE 9HP48 .
  No
  - Go To 8
CHECK OIL PRESSURE SENSOR RESISTANCE
NOTE:
The Oil Pressure Sensor must be at room temperature to perform this test.
1. Measure the resistance of the Oil Pressure Sensor between terminal 15 and terminal 16 at the Transmission side of the Transmission Assembly harness connector.
  Is the resistance between 4.6 and 3.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 9
  No
  - Replace the Transmission Oil Pressure Sensor in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - 948TE 9HP48 .
CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FOR MECHANICAL PROBLEMS
1. Check the Transmission for mechanical problems. Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING .
  Did the Transmission have any mechanical problems?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - 948TE 9HP48 .
  No
  - Go To 10
CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS
1. Disconnect all TCM harness connectors.
2. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
3. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
4. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
  - Proper connector installation.
  - Damaged connector locks.
  - Corrosion.
  - Other signs of water intrusion.
  - Weather seal damage (if equipped).
  - Bent terminals.
  - Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
  - Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
  - Perform a terminal drag test on each connector terminal to verify proper terminal tension.
  Repair any conditions that are found.
5. Reconnect all TCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
6. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
7. Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
