13. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P1717 indicated?
YES - If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM, Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes then recheck. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1.

NO - Go to step 14.


14. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P1717 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

Does the HDS indicate PASSED?

NO - Check for poor connections and loose terminals at the transmission range switch and the PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM. Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes then recheck. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, return to step 12 and recheck.


15. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

16. Start the engine in P. With the brake pedal pressed, shift to R, and stop for at least 2 seconds in R, then shift to N.

17. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P1717 indicated?
YES - Check for poor connections and loose terminals at the transmission range switch and the PCM, then go to step 1.

NO - Go to step 18.


18. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P1717 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

Does the HDS indicate PASSED?
YES - Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Pending or Confirmed DTCs were indicated on step 17, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.

NO - Check for poor connections and loose terminals at the transmission range switch and the PCM, then go to step 1. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, return to step 16 and recheck.
