DIAGNOSTIC FLOW CHART

Test	Result	Action
1) Were any DTCs recorded?	Yes	REPAIR all hard DTCs. FOLLOW the pinpoint tests. REFER to INTRODUCTION - GASOLINE MODELS first, then , GO to Step 2.
	No	REFER to DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM , GO to Step 5.
2) Are any continuous test memory codes present?	Yes	CLEAR codes and CARRY OUT drive cycle test, GO to Step 3.
	No	GO to Step 4.
3) Did the continuous test memory codes reappear?	Yes	REPAIR all continuous test memory codes. FOLLOW the pinpoint tests. REFER to INTRODUCTION - GASOLINE MODELS , then the appropriate transmission information, then , GO to Step 4.
	No	GO to Step 4.
4) Is the concern repaired?	Yes	CARRY OUT the final self-test and verify no DTCs are present. CLEAR memory codes.
	No	REFER to DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM , GO to Step 5.
5) Are there any electrical concerns?	Yes	INSTALL the scan tool. CARRY OUT static and drive test with the scan tool, GO to Step 6.
	No	REFER to the hydraulic and mechanical routine to diagnose and repair the concern, GO to Step 7.
6) Was the transmission concern corrected when the scan tool was installed?	Yes	REFER to INTRODUCTION - GASOLINE MODELS , intermittent fault diagnosis section and use the scan tool to diagnose cause of concern in the processor, vehicle harness or external inputs (sensors or switches).
	No	REFER to the hydraulic and mechanical routine to diagnose the concern, GO to Step 7.
7) Is the concern repaired?	Yes	CARRY OUT the final self-test and verify no DTCs are present. CLEAR memory codes.
