The PCM will illuminate the CHECK TRANS Lamp.
Turn force motor OFF.
Conditions For Clearing The DTC/CHECK
TRANS Lamp
The PCM will turn ªoffº the CHECK TRANS Lamp
after three consecutive ignition cycles without a
failure reported.
The DTC can be cleared from PCM memory by using
a scan tool.
The DTC can also be cleared from memory when the
vehicle has made 40 warmup cycles without a failure
reported.
The PCM will cancel the DTC Actions Taken items
when the fault conditions no longer exist and the
ignition is cycles ªoffº long enough to power down the
PCM.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for intermittent output speed sensor circuit
problems.
Check for possible incorrect calibration. (PCM part
No., tire specification, and rear axle ratio)
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic chart:
3. This step checks for possible low fluid level causing
slipping resulting in an undefined gear ratio.
4. This step checks for correct gear ratios for
commanded gears.
5. This step checks for low line pressure.
