4. With the Transmission Simulator select the "OFF" position on the "Input/Output Speed" switch.
5. Ignition on, engine not running.
6. With the scan tool, monitor the Line Pressure during the following steps.
7. Using the Transmission Simulator, set the rotary knob to each of the three line pressure positions.
  NOTE: All three scan tool Line Pressure readings should be steady and ± 14 kPa (2.0 psi) of the reading specified on the Transmission Simulator.
  
  Did the Line Pressure read within ± 14 kPa (2.0 psi) in all three positions?
  
  Yes
  - Go to 5
  No
  - Go to 7
LINE PRESSURE SENSOR
1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the Transmission Simulator 8333A and reconnect all previously disconnected connectors.
3. Install the Line Pressure Adaptor 8259, and the Pressure Gauge C-3293, 0 to 2000 kPa (0 to 300 psi).
4. Start the engine in park.
5. Monitor the line pressure readings of both the scan tool and the pressure gauge and compare the two readings.
  Is the line pressure gauge reading within 34 kPa (5 psi) of the scan tool reading?
  
  Yes
  - Go to 6
  No
  - Replace the Line Pressure Sensor in accordance with the appropriate service information.
  - Perform the 545RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
PLUGGED TRANSMISSION OIL FILTER
1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Remove and inspect the Transmission Oil Pan for excessive debris in accordance with the appropriate service information.
3. Remove and inspect the Primary Oil Filter in accordance with the appropriate service information.
  NOTE: Make sure the Primary Transmission Oil Filter and/or O-ring is not cracked or split.
  
  Does the Oil Pan contain excessive debris and/or is the Primary Oil Filter cracked or plugged?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the plugged, cracked, or split Primary Transmission Oil Filter and/or O-ring. If the Primary Transmission Oil Filter is plugged, refer to the appropriate service information for the proper Hydraulic repair procedure.
  - Perform the 545RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Repair internal transmission and inspect the Transmission Oil Pump in accordance with the appropriate service information and replace if necessary. If no problem is found, replace the Solenoid/TRS Assembly.
  - Perform the 545RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
