6.CHECK THE (T41) P/N POSITION SWITCH SENSE CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO ANOTHER CIRCUIT
Measure the resistance between the (T41) P/N Position Switch Sense
circuit and all other circuits in the PCM C1 and C2 harness connectors.
Is the resistance greater 100k ohms between the (T41) P/N
Position Switch Sense circuitand any other circuit(s) in the
PCM C1 and C2 harness connectors?

Repair the (T41) P/N Position Switch Sense circuit for a
short to another circuit(s).
Perform RE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST VER -
1 (GAS). (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AU-
TOMATIC - 48RE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
7.CHECK THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR
Reconnect the Transmission Range Sensor harness connector.
Move the gear selector through all gear positions, from Park to 1st and
back.
While moving the gear selector through the gear positions, measure the
resistance between ground and the (T41) P/N Position Switch Sense
circuit in the PCM harness connector.
NOTE: The circuit is grounded in Park and Neutral and open in the
other positions.
Did the display change from above 100k ohms (open) to below
5.0 ohms (grounded)?

Using the schematics as a guide, check the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) pins, terminals, and connectors for
corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Pay particular
attention to all power and ground circuits. If no problems
are found, replace and program the PCM per the Service
Information. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC

8.INTERMITTENT WIRING AND CONNECTORS
The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.
Use the Freeze Frame Data to help duplicate the conditions in which the DTC originally set. Pay particular attention
to the DTC set conditions, such as, VSS, MAP, ECT, and Load
Using the schematics as a guide, visually inspect the related wiring harness. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched,
or partially broken wires.
Visually inspect the related wiring harness connectors. Look for broken,bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.
Wiggle the wiring and connectors while checking for any possible open or shorted circuits.
Check for any Service Information Tune-ups or Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
Were there any problems found?
Ye s>>
Repair as necessary.
