Vehicle Is Disabled

  1. Record all DTCs and the accompanying DTC Event Data.
  2. With engine running, place transmission in gear and verify correct PRNDL reading. Observe the Input and Output speeds using the scan tool. If output RPM is greater than zero but vehicle does not move, check for transfer case in Neutral (or failed internally), failed propshaft, or failed / disconnected drive axle. If output RPM is zero and input RPM is greater than zero, internal transmission slippage is indicated. Run clutch slip tests using the scan tool, check oil pan for debris, and air check the various clutch circuits.
  3. Shift the transmission into neutral, if both input and output speeds are zero, check flexplate bolts, torque converter, and transmission input shaft.
  4. Compare actual line pressure (sensor reading, using the scan tool) to the Desired Line Pressure reading, in Park, Drive, and Reverse at 1500 RPM. Check that the LP sensor reads 30 psi (the minimum it should ever display) with key on / engine off. If line pressure is incorrect, check fluid level and condition.
  5. Remove, inspect, and repair the transmission as necessary
