Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connection at the
PCM and at the transmission 16–way connector.
Look for possible bent, backed out, deformed or
damaged terminals. Check for weak terminal tension
as well. Also check for a chafed wire that could short
to bare metal or other wiring. Inspect for a broken wire
inside the insulation.
When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic chart:
3. This test checks for power to the brake band apply
solenoid from the ignition through the PCM.
4. This test checks the resistance of the transmission
internal wiring harness and brake band apply
solenoid.
5. This test checks the ability of the PCM and wiring to
control the ground circuit.
