Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

CHECK TO SEE IF DTC P0883 IS CURRENT
1. With the scan tool, view DTCs.
  Is the status Active for this DTC or is the Starts Since Set counter equal to 0?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 2
  No
  - Go to step 5
TRANSMISSION CONTROL RELAY CONTACTS STUCK CLOSED
1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Remove the Transmission Control Relay.
  NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.
3. Measure the resistance between the Fused B(+) circuit and the Transmission Control Relay Output Circuit at the terminals of the Transmission Control Relay.
  Is the resistance above 5.0 ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 3
  No
  - Replace the Transmission Control Relay.
  - Perform 42RLE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure

1. Ignition on, engine not running.
2. Measure the voltage at the (T16) Transmission Control Relay Output circuit in the Transmission Control Relay connector.
  Is the voltage above 0.5 volts?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T16) Transmission Control Relay Output circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform 42RLE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure
  No
  - Go to step 4
(T15) TRANSMISSION CONTROL RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE

NOTE: The Transmission Controller will power up the Transmission Control Relay Control circuit for approximately 3.0 seconds after initial ignition on. Wait at least 3.0 seconds after turning the ignition to the on position before performing the following voltage check.

NOTE: P0882 Relay Always Off may set. Disregard this DTC.
1. Measure the voltage at the (T15) Transmission Control Relay Control circuit after a 3.0 second wait period.
  Is the voltage above 0.5 volts?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T15) Transmission Control Relay Control circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform 42RLE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure
  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 42RLE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure
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
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Perform 42RLE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure
  No
  - Test Complete.
