- Using the scan tool, retrieve all DTCs.
Were DTCs P0770, P0773 and/or P0774 set?
Yes GO to Q2. No GO to Symptom Chart . - Q2 CHECK THE SSE CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Transmission Vehicle Harness C168 .
- Disconnect: PCM C1551E .
- Inspect the connectors for damaged or pushed-out terminals, corrosion, loose wires and missing or damaged seals.
- Measure the resistance
between.
Positive Lead Negative Lead Pin Circuit Pin Circuit C168-1 CET19 (VT/GY) C1551E-2 CET19 (VT/GY)
Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
Yes GO to Q3. No REPAIR the circuit. - Q3 CHECK THE SSE CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure the resistance
between.
Positive Lead Negative Lead Pin Circuit Pin Circuit C168-1 CET19 (VT/GY) - Ground
Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?

between.
- Q4 CHECK THE SSE CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Ignition ON.
- Measure the voltage
between.
Positive Lead Negative Lead Pin Circuit Pin Circuit C168-1 CET19 (VT/GY) - Ground
Is any voltage present?
Yes REPAIR the circuit. No GO to Q5. - Q5 CHECK THE SSE FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure the component side resistance
between.
Positive Lead Negative Lead Pin Circuit Pin Circuit 1 - - Ground
Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes REMOVE the main control cover. REFER to Main Control Cover - 3.5L GTDI . INSPECT the solenoid body for metal shavings on the exposed metal contacts or other components. CLEAN the solenoid body and RECHECK the resistance value. If the resistance value is out of specification and a short to ground is not found, INSTALL a new solenoid body assembly. REFER to Solenoid Body Assembly . PERFORM the Solenoid Body Strategy Data Download procedure. REFER to Solenoid Body Strategy Download . No GO to Q6. - Measure the component side resistance
between.
- Q6 CHECK THE SSE FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the component side resistance
between.
