Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. CHECK IF RELATED ENGINE TPS/APPS DTCS ARE PRESENT 
    1. With the scan tool, read Engine DTCs.

      Are there any Engine TPS/APPS DTCs present?

      Yes 

      • Perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure.

      No 

      • Go to  2
  2. CHECK IF THE DTC IS CURRENT  
    1. With the scan tool, record the Event Data to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.
    2. With the scan tool, erase PCM DTCs and the Event Data.
      NOTE: Clearing DTCs does NOT erase the Event Data. To erase the Event Data you must either perform a Quick Learn procedure or battery disconnect (if available) with the scan tool, or manually disconnect the battery. Whatever method used might reset certain learned transmission values to controller defaults and may cause poor shift quality until those values are relearned.
    3. Using the Event Data recorded earlier, test drive the vehicle while trying to duplicate the operating conditions in which the DTC originally set.
    4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Did this DTC reset during the road test?

      Yes 

      • 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 appropriate 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 .

      No 

      • Go to  3
  3. CHECK THE WIRING AND CONNECTORS 
    1. The conditions necessary to set the 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 wiring and connectors 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.

      Were there any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
