Pinpoint Test C: The TCS Is Inoperative

  1. C1 CHECK VOLTAGE TO THE TCS 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Selector Lever C307.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure the voltage between selector lever C307-5, circuit CBB46 (WH/BU), harness side and ground.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    • Yes  : GO to C2.
    • No  : REPAIR circuit CBB46 (WH/BU). TEST the system for normal operation.
  2. C2 CHECK TCS FUNCTION 
    • Measure the resistance between selector lever C307-5 and C307-6, component side, while applying and releasing the Transmission Control Switch (TCS).

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms with the TCS applied and greater than 10, 000 ohms with the TCS released? 
    • Yes  : GO to C3.
    • No  : INSTALL a new selector lever knob. TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. C3 CHECK TCS INPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: PCM C175B.
    • Measure the resistance between selector lever C307-6, circuit CET34 (BN/GN), harness side and PCM C175B-29, circuit CET34 (BN/GN), harness side.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to C4.
    • No  : REPAIR circuit CET34 (BN/GN) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.
  4. C4 CHECK TCS INPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Measure the resistance between selector lever C307-6, circuit CET34 (BN/GN), harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new PCM. PROGRAM the PCM with the latest calibration level. PERFORM the solenoid strategy download procedure. REFER to solenoid body strategy in AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION - 6R80 . TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No  : REPAIR circuit CET34 (BN/GN) for a short to ground. TEST the system for normal operation.
