Component Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Shift Solenoid Valves
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the transmission harness connector.
- Test for 19-24 ohms of resistance at 20°C (68°F) or 24-31 ohms of resistance at 88°C (188°F) between the ignition voltage terminal and the control terminal of the affected shift solenoid valve.
- Terminals E and A for shift solenoid valve 1-2.
- Terminals E and B for shift solenoid valve 2-3.
- If not within the specified range, test the internal transmission wiring harness for an open or high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the affected shift solenoid valve.
- Test for infinite resistance between each terminal and ground.
- If not the specified value, test the internal transmission wiring harness for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the affected shift solenoid valve.
TCC Solenoid
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the transmission harness connector.
- Test for 10-12 ohms of resistance at 20°C (68°F) or 13-15 ohms of resistance at 88°C (188°F) between the ignition voltage terminal U and the control terminal T of the TCC solenoid.
- If not within the specified range, test the internal transmission wiring harness for an open or high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the TCC solenoid.
- Test for infinite resistance between each terminal and ground.
- If not the specified value, test the internal transmission wiring harness for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the TCC solenoid valve.
