Pinpoint Test A: Overdrive Cancel Switch Is Inoperative

  1. A1 CHECK INPUT TO PCM 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: PCM C175a.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between PCM C175a pin 41, circuit 8-TA21 (WH/GN), harness side and ground.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 

    Yes  : REFER to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER .

    No  : GO to A2  .

  2. A2 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO FUSE 205 (5A) 
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between primary junction box fuse 205 (5A) input pin and ground.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 

    Yes  : GO to A3  .

    No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.

  3. A3 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE INPUT TO THE SHIFTER 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Transmission Shift Selector C307.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between transmission shift selector C307 pin 7, circuit 15-TA21 (GN/BK), harness side and ground.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 

    Yes  : GO to A4  .

    No  : REPAIR circuit 15-DA5 (GN/OG) or 15-TA21 (GN/BK). TEST the system for normal operation.

  4. A4 CHECK CIRCUIT 8-TA21 (WH/GN) FOR SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Disconnect: PCM C175a.
    • Disconnect: Transmission Shift Selector C307.
    • Measure the resistance between transmission shift selector C307 pin 6, circuit 8-TA21 (WH/GN), harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms? 

    Yes  : GO to A5  .

    No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.

  5. A5 CHECK CIRCUIT 8-TA21 (WH/GN) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Measure the resistance between PCM C175a pin 41, circuit 8-TA21 (WH/GN), harness side and transmission shift selector C307 pin 6, circuit 8-TA21 (WH/GN), harness side.
