Diagnostic Test

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

CHECK FOR TCM TIPM DTCS
1. With the scan tool check for TIPM DTCs.
  Are there any TCM Power Control Circuit DTCS present under TIPM?
  
  Yes
  - Refer to the appropriate Transmission Information article and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure(s).
  No
  - Go to step 2
CHECK TO SEE IF DTC P0883 IS CURRENT
1. With the scan tool, check the STARTS SINCE SET counter.
  NOTE: This counter only applies to the last DTC set.
  
  Is the STARTS SINCE SET counter set to 0?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 3
  No
  - Go to step 8

1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
3. Disconnect the TIPM C2 harness connector.
4. Disconnect the TIPM C10 harness connector.
5. Ignition on, engine not running.
6. Measure the voltage of the (T16) Transmission Control Output circuit(s).
  Is the voltage above 0.5 volts?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 4
  No
  - Go to step 7
CHECK THE TRANSMISSION SOLENOID/PRESSURE SWITCH ASSEMBLY

1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the Transmission Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly harness connector.
3. Ignition on, engine not running.
4. Measure the voltage of the (T16) Transmission Control Output circuit(s).
  Is the voltage above 0.5 volts?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 5
  No
  - Replace the Transmission Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly per the Service Information.
  - Perform 40/41TE VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure
CHECK THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR

1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) harness connector.
3. Ignition on, engine not running.
4. Measure the voltage of the (T16) Transmission Control Output circuit(s).
  Is the voltage above 0.5 volts?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 6
  No
  - Replace the TRS per the Service Information.
  - Perform 40/41TE VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure
CHECK THE LINE PRESSURE SENSOR/VARIABLE FORCE SOLENOID ASSEMBLY

1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the Line Pressure/Variable Force Solenoid Assembly harness connector.
3. Ignition on, engine not running.
4. Measure the voltage of the (T16) Transmission Control Output circuit(s).
  Is the voltage above 0.5 volts?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T16) Transmission Control Output circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform 40/41TE VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure
  No
  - Replace the Line Pressure/Variable Force Solenoid Assembly per the Service Information.
  - Perform 40/41TE VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure
CHECK THE (T15) TRANSMISSION CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

1. Measure the voltage of the (T15) Transmission Control circuit.
  Is the voltage above 0.5 volts?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T15) Transmission Control circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform 40/41TE 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 the PCM per the Service Information. With the scan tool, perform QUICK LEARN.
  - Perform 40/41TE VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure
CHECK 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 DTC EVENT DATA to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.
  Where there any problems found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Perform 40/41TE VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure
  No
  - Test Complete.
