Diagnostic Test

CHECK IF THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IS ACTIVE
1. Using the scan tool, erase Transmission DTCs.
2. Start the engine, with the brakes firmly applied shift the shift lever into Drive and make several AutoStick upshifts and downshifts.
3. Using the scan tool, read Transmission DTCs.
  Is the status Active or is the Starts Since Set counter 2 or less for this DTC?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 2.
  No
  - Go To 7.
VERIFY PROBLEM
1. Using the scan tool, read the AutoStick upshift and downshift status.
  Does the scan tool show either the upshift or downshift as true with the shifter in the center position (pick best answer)?
  
  Upshift shows as true
  - Go To 3.
  Downshift shows as true
  - Go To 5.
  Neither circuit shows as true
  - Using the diagrams as a guide, check the Transmission Control Module (TCM) terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits. Check for any Service Bulletins for possible causes that may apply. If no problems are found, replace the TCM in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the CVT VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to Standard Procedure .
CHECK THE SHIFT LEVER ASSEMBLY
1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the Shift Lever Assembly harness connector.
3. Ignition on, engine not running.
4. With the scan tool read the AutoStick Upshift status.
  Does the Upshift still show as true?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 4.
  No
  - Replace the Shift Lever Assembly in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the CVT VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to Standard Procedure .
CHECK THE (T5) AUTOSTICK UPSHIFT SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the TCM C2 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance between ground and the (T5) AutoStick Upshift Switch Signal circuit.
  Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T5) AutoStick Upshift Switch Signal circuit for a short to ground.
  - Perform the CVT VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Using the diagrams as a guide, check the Transmission Control Module (TCM) terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits.

CHECK THE WIRING AND CONNECTORS
1. The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.
2. Using the diagrams as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors specific to this circuit.
3. Wiggle the wires while checking for shorted and open circuits.
  Were there any problems found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Perform CVT VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Test Complete.
