DIAGNOSTIC STARTING POINT - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Begin the system diagnosis with the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information. The Diagnostic System
Check provides the following information:

• The identification of the control module which commands the system.

• The ability of the control module or modules to communicate through the serial data circuit.

• The identification and status of stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).

The use of the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information identifies the correct procedure for diagnosing the
system and where the procedure is located.

Symptoms

When it has been determined through the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information that no DTCs are
present, begin symptom diagnosis by reviewing the Functional Test Procedure. This helps you determine if the condition described
by the customer is normal or if a malfunction exists. If it is determined that a malfunction exists, identify the concern by referring
to Symptoms - Automatic Transmission. The Symptoms - Automatic Transmission provides common diagnostic categories which
relate directly to diagnostic information or procedures.

1

Important: Engine performance can strongly affect transmission perfor-
mance. Ensure the condition is not the result of poor engine performance
before continuing.
Verify the customer concern.
Has the customer concern been verified?

Go to Step 2.

2

Important: Many transmissions have default actions that take place once a
DTC fault is detected. These actions may appear to be transmission con-
cerns.
Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Informa-
tion.
Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check?

LINE PRESSURE CHECK PROCEDURE

Description

Checking main line pressure helps to determine if a transmission malfunction is due to a mechanical or an electrical condition.
Properly making these pressure checks requires transmission and vehicle, or test stand, preparation, recording of data, and compar-
ing recorded data against specifications provided.

WARNING: Keep the brakes applied at all times in order to prevent unexpected vehicle motion. Personal injury
may result if the vehicle moves unexpectedly.

1.

Remove the oil pressure tap plug.

2.

Install J 45056 pressure test adapter fitting prior to connecting the oil pressure gage (Figure 5-4).

3.

All transmission fluid level and pressure checks must be made at normal operating temperatures 160-200° F (71-93° C) sump;
180-220° F (82-104° C) converter-out. Check the transmission fluid level.

4.

Connect a 0-300 PSI (0-2070 kPa) oil pressure gage to the pressure test adapter fitting. Use the scan tool to check the engine
RPM.

5.

With the brakes applied, record the line pressure values at 600 RPM engine speed in NEUTRAL and REVERSE range. The
transmission will be in converter mode, torque converter clutch not applied.

6.

With the brakes applied, record the line pressure values with the engine running at 2,100 RPM in NEUTRAL. The
transmission will be in converter mode, torque converter clutch not applied.

7.

With the brakes applied, use the following scan tool settings to check pressures in FIRST through FIFTH gear ranges at 600
RPM. The transmission will be in converter mode, torque converter clutch not applied, at 600 RPM.

• Select Special Functions, press ENTER.

• Select Transmission Output Controls.

• Select Shift transmission. This will allow the technician to shift the transmission and check line pressure in each forward

gear range.

8.

Compare the data recorded to the line pressure specifications in the chart below.

9.

Disconnect the oil pressure gage and remove the J 45056 pressure test adapter fitting.

10. Install the oil pressure tap plug again.

15

Inspect for the following specific torque converter or TCC malfunctions?

• Stuck ON or OFF

• Early or late engagement

• Incorrect apply or release

• Soft or harsh apply

• Clunk or shudder

• No torque multiplication

• Excessive slip

• Poor acceleration

• Engine stalls

Did the vehicle exhibit any of these torque converter or TCC conditions?
