Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK IF THE DTC IS CURRENT 
    1. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Is the status Active or is the Starts Since Set counter 0 for this DTC?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

      • Go to step  4
  2. PRESSURE SIGNAL CIRCUITS SHORTED TO VOLTAGE

    1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
    2. Disconnect the PCM C4 harness connector and connect the PCM Pinout Box 8815.
    3. Disconnect the Transmission Solenoid/TRS Assembly harness connector.
    4. Remove the Transmission Control Relay.
      NOTE: Note: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.
      CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install the PCM Pinout Box 8815 to perform diagnosis.
    5. Connect a jumper wire between the Fused B(+) circuit and the Transmission Control Output circuit in the Transmission Control Relay connector.
    6. Ignition on, engine not running.
    7. Measure the voltage of the (T147) 2C, (T48) 4C, (T50) L/R, (T9) OD, and (T29) UD Pressure Signal circuits in the PCM Pinout Box 8815.

      Is the voltage above 0.5 of a volt on any of the measured circuits?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  3
  3. TRANSMISSION SOLENOID/TRS ASSEMBLY

    1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
    2. Remove the jumper wire.
      NOTE: Do not reinstall the Transmission Relay.
    3. Reconnect the Transmission Solenoid/TRS Assembly harness connector.
    4. Ignition on, engine not running.
    5. Measure the voltage of the (T147) 2C, (T48) 4C, (T50) L/R, (T9) OD, and (T29) UD Pressure Signal circuits in the PCM Pinout Box 8815.

      Is the voltage above 0.5 of a volts on any of the sense circuits?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Using the schematics as a guide, check the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits. If no problems are found, replace and program the PCM in accordance with the Service Information. With the scan tool, perform Quick Learn.
      • Perform the 545RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
  4. CHECK THE WIRING AND CONNECTORS 
    1. The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.
    2. Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors specific to this circuit.
    3. Wiggle the wires while checking for shorted and open circuits.
    4. With the scan tool, check the Event Data to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.

      Where there any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
