2.CHECK THE TRANSMISSION SOLENOID/TRS ASSEMBLY
Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
Remove the Ignition Switch Feed fuse from the TIPM.
CAUTION: Removal of the Ignition Switch Feed fuse from the TIPM will prevent the vehicle from being
startedingear.
WARNING: The Ignition Switch Feed fuse must be removed from the TIPM. Failure to do so can result in
personal injury or death.
Install the Transmission Simulator,Miller tool #8333 and the ElectronicTransmission Adapter kit.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool, perform the Shift Lever Position Test.
When the scan tool instructs you to put the Gear Selector in a particular position, you must do so using the selector
switch on the Transmission Simulator.
The LED for the gear position in question must be illuminated on the Transmission Simulator prior to pressing
ENTERon the scan tool.
NOTE: When the scan tool requests the O/D off button be depressed, you must use the O/D OFF button in
the vehicle or you will fail the Shift Lever Position Test with an error code11 or OD-TOW/HALL STUCK
OPEN.
NOTE: If the Shift Lever Position test fails, make sure to note the identification of the TRS Sense circuit for
future reference.
Did the Shift Lever Position test pass?
Ye s>>
Remove the Oil Pan and Main Valve Body Assembly per the Service Information. Check for metal debris
on top of the TRS Assembly. If debris is present, determine the cause of the debris and repair the trans-
mission as necessary. If no problems are found, replace the Transmission TRS Assembly per the Ser-
vice Information.

Perform 42RLE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/
TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 42RLE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on and engine running.
Set Condition:
DTC will set when the transmission temperature does not reach a normal operating temperature within a given
time frame. Time is variable due to ambient temperature. Approximate DTC set time is 10 to 35 minutes. The
following are starting temperature to warm up times to set this DTC: starting temperature -40° C (-40° F) warm
up time 35 minutes, starting temperature -28° C ( -20° F) 25 minutes, starting temperature -6.6° C (20° F) 20
minutes, starting temperature 15.5 ° C (60° F) 10 minutes. When the fault isset, calculated temperature is
substituted for measured temperature, however the DTC is stored only after three consecutive occurrences.
