Diagnostic Procedures
1) On AN and DN bodies, go to next step. On all except AN and
DN bodies, use scan tool to read DTCs. If DTC SPECIFIC GOOD TRIPS
counter is not displayed or displayed count is not "0", go to step
11). If DTC SPECIFIC GOOD TRIPS counter is displayed and displayed
count is "0", go to next step.
2) Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM harness connectors.
Inspect connectors and terminals for damage. Repair as necessary. If
connectors and terminals are okay, measure voltage between ground and
transmission temperature signal circuit at White PCM harness connector
C2. If voltage is greater than one volt, go to next step. If voltage
is one volt or less, go to step 5).
3) Disconnect transmission solenoid harness connector.
Inspect connector and terminals for damage. Repair as necessary. If
connector and terminals are okay, measure voltage between ground and
transmission temperature signal circuit at transmission solenoid
harness connector. If voltage is greater than one volt, repair
transmission temperature signal circuit for short to ground. If
voltage is one volt or less, go to next step.
4) Reconnect transmission solenoid harness connector. Remove
transmission oil pan. Disconnect transmission pressure/temperature
sensor harness connector. Measure voltage between ground and
transmission temperature signal circuit at transmission
pressure/temperature sensor harness connector. If voltage is greater
than one volt, repair or replace transmission solenoid and harness
assembly. If voltage is one volt or less, replace transmission
pressure/temperature sensor.
5) Turn ignition off. Measure resistance between transmission
temperature signal circuit at White PCM harness connector C2 and
ground circuit at Black PCM harness connector C1. If resistance is
less than 550 ohms, go to DTC P0712: TRANS TEMP SENSOR VOLTAGE TOO
LOW. If resistance is 550 ohms or more, go to next step.
6) If resistance is 550-2300 ohms, go to step 10). If
resistance is greater than 2300 ohms, go to next step.
7) Disconnect transmission solenoid harness connector.
Inspect connector and terminals for damage. Repair as necessary. If
connector and terminals are okay, measure resistance of sensor ground
circuit between Black PCM harness connector C1 and transmission
solenoid harness. If resistance is 5 ohms or greater, repair open in
transmission temperature signal circuit. If resistance is less than 5
ohms, go to next step.
8) Measure resistance of transmission temperature signal
circuit between White PCM harness connector C2 and transmission
solenoid harness connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to

transmission temperature signal circuit.
9) Reconnect transmission solenoid harness connector. Remove
transmission oil pan. Disconnect transmission pressure/temperature
sensor harness connector. Measure resistance of sensor ground circuit

between Black PCM harness connector C1 and transmission
pressure/temperature sensor harness connector. If resistance is
greater than 5 ohms, repair or replace transmission solenoid and
harness assembly. If resistance is 5 ohms or less, replace
transmission pressure/temperature sensor.
10) Reconnect all harness connectors. Using scan tool, read
TRANS TEMP voltage. If voltage is greater than 3.76 volts, replace
PCM. If voltage is 3.76 volts or less, conditions required to set DTC
