Perform the following after completion of a diagnostic repair:
After completion of the Transmission Verification Test, the Powertrain Verification Test must be per-
formed.
Connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
Reconnect any disconnected components.
If the PCM has been replaced or updated (flashed), or the transmission has been repaired or replaced, using
the scan tool, perform a Quick Learn Procedure.
With the scan tool, erase all Transmission and Engine DTC’s.
With the scan tool, perform a BATTERY DISCONNECT, this will clear the DTC EVENT DATA
With the scan tool, display Transmission Temperature. Start and run the engine until the Transmission Tem-
perature is HOT.
Check the Transmission fluid level and adjust if necessary. Refer to the Service Information for the Fluid Fill
procedure. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE/FLUID - STANDARD
PROCEDURE)
Road test the vehicle.
Perform the following shifts from a standing start with a constant throttle opening of 20 to 25 degrees to the
speeds of 97 Kmh (60 mph); make fifteen to twenty 1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4 upshifts andfor545RFE,4to5.
Perform the following shifts with speeds below 40 Kmh (25 mph); make five toeight wide open throttle kick-
downs to 1st gear. Allow at least 5 seconds each in 2nd and 3rd gear between each kickdown.
Check for DTCs during and after the road test.
If after performing the road test, if any shift concerns are noted, performthe drive learn procedure for those
affected shifts. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/TRANSMISSION CONTROL
MODULE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

SENSOR-TRANSMISSION RANGE
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has 3 primary
functions:
Provide a PARK/NEUTRAL start signal to the
engine controller and the starter relay.
Turn the Back-up lamps on when the transmis-
sion is in REVERSE and the engine (ignition) is
on.
Provide a transmission range signal to the instru-
ment cluster.
The sensor is mounted in the transmission housing
near the valve body, just above the pan rail. It’s in the
same position as the Park/Neutral switch on other
transmissions. The TRS contacts a cammed surface
on the manual valve lever. The cammed surface trans-
lates the rotational motion of the manual lever into the
linear motion of the sensor. The cammed surface on
the manual lever is comprised of two parts controlling
the TRS signal: The insulator portion contacts the
switch poppet when the manual lever is not in PARK
or NEUTRAL. The manual lever itself contacts the
poppet when the lever is in PARK or NEUTRAL; pro-
viding a ground for the signal from the starter relay
and the appropriate engine controller.
OPERATION
As the switch moves through its linear motion contacts
slide across a circuit board which changes the resis-
tance between the range sensing pins of the switch. A
power supply on the instrument cluster provides a reg-
ulated voltage signal to the switch. The return signal is
decoded by the cluster, which then controls the
PRNDL display to correspond with the correct trans-
mission range. A bus message of transmission range
