  1. I1 RETRIEVE AND RECORD ALL DTCS

    • Using the diagnostic scan tool, retrieve all DTCs.

    Are DTCs P0748, P0960, P0961, P0962 and/or P0963 present? 

    Yes  For DTCs P0748 and P0960, GO to  I2. For DTC P0748, P0961 and P0962, GO to  I5. For DTC P0748 and P0963, GO to  I7.
    No  GO to Symptom Chart .
  2. I2 CHECK THE LPC CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Transmission Vehicle Harness C1520A .
    • Disconnect: TCM C1750 .
    • Inspect the connectors for damaged or pushed-out terminals, corrosion, loose wires and missing or damaged seals.
