1NOTE: Low fluid level can be the cause of many Transmission problems. If
the fluid level is low locate and repair the leak then check and adjust the
fluid level per the Service Information.
NOTE: Always perform diagnostics with a fully charged battery to avoid
false symptoms.
With the DRBIIIt, read the engine DTC's. Check and repair all engine DTC's prior
to performing Transmission Symptom Diagnostics.
With the DRBIIIt, read Transmission DTC's. Record all DTC's and 1 Trip Failures.
NOTE: Diagnose 1 Trip Failures as a fully matured DTC.
Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
Repair as necessary.
Perform the Shift Lever Position Test. If the test does not pass, refer to Symptom test
for P0705 Check Shifter Signal.
For Gear Ratio DTC's, check and record all CVI's.
Most DTC's set on start up but some must be set by driving the vehicle such that all
diagnostic monitors have run.
NOTE: Verify flash level of Transmission Control Module. Some problems
are corrected by software upgrades to the Transmission Control Module.
NOTE: Check for applicable TSB's related to the symptom.
Perform this procedure prior to Symptom diagnosis.All

2 Turn the ignition off.
Remove the Transmission Oil Pan and Oil Filter per the Service Information.
Install a new Transmission Oil Filter per Service Information.
Reinstall Transmission Oil Pan, and refill with new Transmission Fluid per the
Service Information.
Note: The Transmission Cooler must be flushed before prodceeding.
Start the engine, check and adjust the Transmission Fluid Level per Service
Information.
Allow the engine to idle for 10 minutes, in Park.
Flush the Transmission Oil Cooler per the Service Information.
Turn the ignition off.
Drain and refill the Transmission Fluid.
Flush the Transmission Oil Cooler again.
Start the engine, check and adjust the Transmission Fluid Level per Service
Information.
With the DRBIIIt, perform a Battery Disconnect.
Note: This must be done to re enable EMCC during an A/C Clutch engage-
ment.
The vehicle may exhibit intermittent shudder during the first few hundred miles.
Note: The oil will gradually penetrate the TCC friction material and the
shudder should disappear.
Erase the DTC and return the vehicle to the customer.
Did the Code reset or does the vehicle still shudder after a few thousand miles?All
Ye s®Replace the Torque Convertor per the Service Information. Note:
After replacing the Torque Convertor, use the DRBIII to perform
the TCC Break In procedure. This will prevent possible shudder
conditions.
