Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID DTCS 
    1. With the scan tool, read TCM DTCs and record on the repair order.

      Are Pressure Control Solenoid DTCs set?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  2
  2. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    1. With the scan tool, read TCM DTCs.
    2. Record the Event Data and Environmental Data.
    3. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    4. Using the recorded Event and Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
    5. With the scan tool, read TCM DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      • Go To  3

      No 

      • Go To  7
  3. CHECK PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOIDS CIRCUIT RESISTANCE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the TCM harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance between the (T118) Solenoid Supply 2 circuit and the following Pressure Control Solenoid circuits at the TCM harness connector:
      • (T814) Pressure Control Solenoid B
      • (T816) Pressure Control Solenoid C
      • (T818) Pressure Control Solenoid D
      • (T790) Pressure Control Solenoid E
    4. Compare each resistance measurement with the Temperature vs Resistance specifications in the Pressure Control Valve table above.

      Is each resistance measurement about the same as the specified value for the given temperature?

      Yes 

      • Go To  6

      No 

      • Go To  4
  4. CHECK PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOIDS INTERNAL HARNESS RESISTANCE 
    1. Disconnect the Transmission Assembly harness connector.
    2. At the Transmission side of the Transmission Assembly harness connector, measure the resistance between the (T118) Solenoid Supply 2 circuit and the following Pressure Control Solenoid circuits:
      • (T814) Pressure Control Solenoid B
      • (T816) Pressure Control Solenoid C
      • (T818) Pressure Control Solenoid D
      • (T790) Pressure Control Solenoid E
    3. Compare each resistance measurement with the Temperature vs Resistance specifications in the Pressure Control Valve table above.

      Is each resistance measurement about the same as the specified value for the given temperature?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  5
  5. CHECK PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOIDS RESISTANCE 
    1. Disconnect the following Pressure Control Solenoid harness connectors.
      • Pressure Control Solenoid B
      • Pressure Control Solenoid C
      • Pressure Control Solenoid D
      • Pressure Control Solenoid E
    2. Measure the resistance of each Pressure Control Solenoid.
    3. Compare each resistance measurement with the Temperature vs Resistance specifications in the Pressure Control Valve table above.

      Is each resistance measurement about the same as the specified value for the given temperature?

      Yes 

      No 

  6. CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS 
    1. Disconnect all TCM harness connectors.
    2. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
    3. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
    4. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
      • Proper connector installation.
      • Damaged connector locks.
      • Corrosion.
      • Other signs of water intrusion.
      • Weather seal damage (if equipped).
      • Bent terminals.
      • Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
      • Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
      • Perform a terminal drag test on each connector terminal to verify proper terminal tension.

      Repair any conditions that are found.

    5. Reconnect all TCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    6. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    7. Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    8. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    9. Using the recorded Event and Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
    10. With the scan tool, read TCM DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      No 

  7. CHECK WIRING AND CONNECTORS 
    1. The conditions necessary to set the DTC are not present at this time.
    2. Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors specific to this circuit.
    3. Wiggle the wires while checking for shorted and open circuits.
    4. Check for any Service Bulletins that may apply.

      Were there any problems found?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Test complete.
