Diagnostic Aids

Check harness routing for a potential short to ground in TFT signal circuit. Scan tester displays transmission fluid temperature in degrees Centigrade. After transmission is running, temperature display should rise steadily to about 100°C then stabilize. Test transmission sensor at various temperature levels to determine if sensor is out of calibration. See TRANSMISSION SENSOR - TEMP TO RESISTANCE chart. An out-of-calibration sensor could result in delayed shifts or TCC enabled complaint.
