Yes
- Repair the Pressure Control Solenoid DTCs. Refer to the TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) - DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX article .
- Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - 948RE 9HP48 .
No
- Go To 2
- With the scan tool, read TCM DTCs and record on the repair order.
- CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
- With the scan tool, read TCM DTCs.
- Record the Event Data and Environmental Data.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- 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.
- With the scan tool, read TCM DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- Go To 7
- CHECK PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOIDS CIRCUIT RESISTANCE
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the TCM harness connector.
- 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
- 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
- CHECK PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOIDS INTERNAL HARNESS RESISTANCE
- Disconnect the Transmission Assembly harness connector.
- 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
- 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
- Repair the circuit with high resistance in the wiring harness between the TCM and the Transmission.
- Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - 948RE 9HP48 .
No
- Go To 5
- CHECK PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOIDS RESISTANCE
- Disconnect the following Pressure Control Solenoid harness connectors.
- Pressure Control Solenoid B
- Pressure Control Solenoid C
- Pressure Control Solenoid D
- Pressure Control Solenoid E
- Measure the resistance of each Pressure Control Solenoid.
- 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
- Replace the internal Transmission wiring harness in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - 948RE 9HP48 .
No
- Replace the faulty Pressure Control Solenoid(s) in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - 948RE 9HP48 .
- Disconnect the following Pressure Control Solenoid harness connectors.
- CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS
- Disconnect all TCM harness connectors.
- Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
- Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
- 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.
- Reconnect all TCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- 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.
- With the scan tool, read TCM DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Replace the Transmission Control Module (TCM) in accordance with the Service information. Refer to MODULE, TRANSMISSION CONTROL, REMOVAL .
- Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - 948RE 9HP48 .
No
- Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - 948RE 9HP48 .
- Test complete.
