Pinpoint Test D : Shift Solenoid D

  1. D1 RETRIEVE AND RECORD ALL DTCS

    • Using the diagnostic scan tool, retrieve all DTCs.

    Are DTCs P0765, P0768, P0769, P0982 and/or P0983 present? 

    Yes  For DTCs P0765, P0768 and/or P0769, GO to  D2. For DTC P0982, GO to  D4. For DTC P0983, GO to  D6.
    No  GO to Symptom Chart .

  2. D2 CHECK THE SSD CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
