Diagnostic Test

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

PCM AND WIRING
1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Remove the Starter Relay.
  CAUTION: Removal of the Starter Relay will prevent the vehicle from being started in gear.
  
  WARNING: The Starter Relay must be removed from the PDC. Failure to do so may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
3. Install the Transmission Simulator, Miller tool #8333A and the Electronic Transmission Adapter kit.
4. Ignition on, engine not running.
5. With the Transmission Simulator, set the "Input/Output Speed" switch to "ON" and the rotary switch to the "3000/1250" position.
6. With the scan tool, monitor the Input and Output Speed Sensor readings.
  Does the Input Speed read 3000 RPM and the Output Speed read 1250 RPM, ± 50 RPM?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 2
  No
  - Go to step 3
(T13) SPEED SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN

1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the PCM C4 harness connector.
3. Disconnect the Input and Output Speed Sensor harness connectors.
  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 PCM Pinout Box 8815 to perform diagnosis.
4. Measure the resistance of both of the (T13) Speed Sensor Ground circuits between the appropriate terminals of Miller tool #8815 and the Input and Output Speed Sensor harness connectors.
  Is the resistance above 5.0 ohms on either circuit?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T13) Speed Sensor Ground circuit for an open.
  - 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. Check for Service Information Tune-ups or Service Bulletins for any possible causes that may apply. 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 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.
  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.
