9.16 DTC B0981 – 3

rd

Start Switch Signal

Malfunction

DTC Description

This diagnostic procedure supports DTC B0981 – 3

rd

Start Switch Signal Malfunction.

Circuit Description

The 3

rd

start mode switch is a normally open switch that closes when the switch is activated. When activated, the switch

supplies signal ground to the 3

rd

start ground signal circuit. The powertrain interface module (PIM) converts the signal

ground input into serial data, which is used by the automatic transmission control module (TCM) to enable or disable the
3

rd

start mode, and by the instrument cluster to display power mode status.

Additional Information

•

For the 4L60E automatic transmission, refer to 7C1 Automatic Transmission – 4L60E – General Information:

•

Power mode switch description, operation and inspection procedure, and

•

TCM wiring diagram.

•

Refer to 6 Wiring Diagram and Connector for the following information:

•

PIM connector illustration and terminal assignment, and

•

PIM wiring diagram.

•

For intermittent fault conditions, refer to

Intermittent Fault Conditions.

•

Since fault conditions in a wiring connector may trigger DTCs, always test the connectors related to this diagnostic
procedure for shorted terminals or poor wiring connection before replacing any component. Refer to 8A Electrical -
Body and Chassis for information on electrical fault diagnosis.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Conditions for running the DTC are:

•

The ignition is switched on.

•

The ignition voltage is 10.0 – 16.0 V.

Diagnostics For Non DTC Faults

10.1 PRND32L Display Diagnostics

Circuit Description

The powertrain interface module (PIM) receives transmission gear status via the GM Lan serial data bus from the
transmission control module (TCM) it is then sent to the instrument cluster by the PIM via a series of hard wired
connections to illuminate the appropriate gear position indicator within the instrument cluster. Some of these components
do not set a DTC, in the event of a component failure. The following diagnostic procedures are devised to assist in these
cases.

Additional Information

•

Refer to 7.2 Diagnostic System Check to monitor DTC’s.

•

Refer to 8A Electrical Body and Chassis for the following information:

•

Automatic transmission Neutral Start and Back-up Lamp Switch and wiring,

•

TCM wiring diagram.

•

Refer to 6 Wiring Diagram and Connector Chart for the following information:

•

PIM connector illustration and terminal assignment, and

•

PIM wiring diagram.

•

For intermittent faults, refer to Intermittent Fault Conditions.

•

Check for an intermittent fault in the wiring harness or connectors, if a fault cannot be found the system is
serviceable.

Since fault conditions in a wiring connector may trigger DTCs, always test the connectors related to this diagnostic
procedure for shorted terminals or poor wiring connection before replacing any component. Refer to 8A Electrical - Body
and Chassis for information on electrical fault diagnosis.

Test Description

The following numbers refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic table:

1

This step tests for DTC’s in the overall system.

This step uses Tech 2 to drive each indicator on.

7

This step tests for shorts to voltage.

8

This step tests neutral start and back-up lamp switch and automatic transmission.

12

This step tests the instrument cluster circuits.

15
