TD2 - Check Continuity of MLP Sensor Harness Circuits



- Key "OFF".

- Disconnect Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Inspect for damaged or pushed out pins, corrosion, loose wires, etc. Service as necessary.

- Disconnect Manual Lever Position (MLP) sensor.

- Using a mirror, inspect both ends of transmission harness connector at MLP sensor for damaged or pushed out pins, corrosion, loose wires, etc. Service as necessary.

- Install breakout box, leave PCM disconnected.

- Measure resistance between test pin 30 at the breakout box and MLP signal circuit at the MLP sensor vehicle harness connector.

- Measure resistance between test pin 46 at the breakout box and SIG RTN circuit at the MLP sensor vehicle harness connector.

- Is each resistance less than 5.0 ohms?

Yes -- Go to TD3. TD3 - Check MLP Sensor Circuit For Short to Power and Ground

No -- Service open circuit(s). Remove breakout box. Reconnect all components. Rerun quick test. Quick Test Appendix (Detailed Testing Instructions)
