Step

Action

Value (s)

YES

NO

1

- Key on, Engine running

- Within VCM Live, open the Trans Pressure Sensor DTC Minimum parameter, does the Trans pressure sensor parameter display 1.51 psi or less?

≤ 1.51 psi

Go to Step 2

Intermittent Issue

(Refer to Intermittent Diagnostics)

2

- Disconnect the trans line pressure sensor connector and the sub harness connector

- With a DVOM check for continuity between the trans pressure control solenoid valve pin 3 & cavity "C"

 

Go to Step 3

Repair the circuit as necessary, locate any wires that need to be repaired or replaced

3

- Disconnect the trans line pressure sensor connector and the sub harness connector

- With a DVOM check for continuity between the trans line pressure low reference pin 12 & cavity "D"

 

Go to Step 4

Repair the circuit as necessary, locate any wires that need to be repaired or replaced

4

- Inspect the Trans Line pressure Sensor connector and pins for corrosion, contamination or any physical damage.

- Any issues found?

 

Repair any issues found and retest.

Go to Step 5

5

- Replace the Trans Pressure Sensor

- Is the replacement complete?

 

Go to Step 6

N/A

6

- Clear any DTC from the ECU

- Turn the ignition off and wait 30 seconds

- Start the engine and operate the engine to full operating temperature
