PRE-DIAGNOSTIC CHECKOUT (DIESEL)
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W
1.PRE-DIAGNOSTIC CHECKOUT
NOTE: Always perform diagnostics with a fully charged battery to avoid false symptoms.
NOTE: Low fluid level can be the cause of many transmission problems. If thefluid level is low locate and
repair the leak then check and adjust the fluid level per the Service Information.
With the scan tool, read engine DTC’s. Check and repair all engine DTCs prior to performing transmission symptom
diagnostics.
Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors. Repair as necessary.
Verify the flash level of the Engine Control Module. Some problems are corrected by software upgrades.
Check for any Service Information Tune-ups or Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
Did any of the above checks or procedures correct the symptom?

MECHANISM-SHIFT
DESCRIPTION
The gear shift mechanism provides six shift positions which are:
PA R K ( P )
REVERSE (R)
NEUTRAL (N)
DRIVE (D)
Manual SECOND (2)
Manual LOW (1)
OPERATION
Manual LOW (1) range provides first gear only. Overrun braking is also provided in this range. Manual SECOND (2)
range provides first and second gear only.
DRIVE range provides first, second, third, and overdrive fourth gear ranges. The shift into overdrive fourth gear
range occurs only after the transmission has completed the shift into D third gear range. No further movement of the
shift mechanism is required to complete the 3-4 shift.
The fourth gear upshift occurs automatically when the overdrive selectorswitch is in the ON position. No upshift to
fourth gear will occur if any of the following are true:
The transmission fluid temperature is below 10° C (50° F) or above 121° C (250° F).
The shift to third is not yet complete.
Vehicle speed is too low for the 3-4 shift to occur.
Battery temperature is below -5° C (23° F).
When Monitored:
Ignition on. Battery voltage between 9.0 and 16.0 volts.
