Diagnostic Test
- CHECK FOR ENGINE CHARGING SYSTEM DTCS
- With the scan tool, read Powertrain Control Module (PCM) DTCs.
Are any Engine Charging System DTCs set?
Yes
- Repair the Charging System DTCs. Refer to DTC INDEX .
- Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION test to verify the Transmission and or controller was not damaged. Refer to TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - 948TE 9HP48 .
No
- Go To 2
- With the scan tool, read Powertrain Control Module (PCM) DTCs.
- CHECK SYSTEM VOLTAGE
- Start the Engine.
- With the scan tool, under Transmission, check system voltage.
Is the Transmission system voltage above 7.0 volts?
Yes
- Perform the TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION procedure. Refer to TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
No
- Go To 3
- CHECK THE BATT CIRCUIT
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the TCM C1 harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (A190) BATT circuit at the TCM connector.NOTE:
The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go To 4
No
- Repair the (A190) BATT circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
- 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 and record on the repair order.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Replace the TCM in accordance with the Service information. Refer to MODULE, TRANSMISSION CONTROL (TCM), REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
- Test complete.
