PINPOINT TEST C: THE TCS IS INOPERATIVE

-------------------------------------------------
C1 CHECK VOLTAGE TO THE TCS


- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Selector Lever C307.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure the voltage between selector lever C307-5, circuit CBB46 (WH/BU), harness side and ground.




- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?

Yes
GO to C2.

No
REPAIR circuit CBB46 (WH/BU). TEST the system for normal operation.

-------------------------------------------------
C2 CHECK TCS FUNCTION


- Measure the resistance between selector lever C307-5 and C307-6, component side, while applying and releasing the Transmission Control Switch (TCS).




- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms with the TCS applied and greater than 10,000 ohms with the TCS released?

Yes
GO to C3.

No
INSTALL a new selector lever knob. TEST the system for normal operation.

-------------------------------------------------
C3 CHECK TCS INPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN


- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: PCM C175B.
- Measure the resistance between selector lever C307-6, circuit CET34 (BN/GN), harness side and PCM C175B-29, circuit CET34 (BN/GN), harness side.




- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes
GO to C4.

No
REPAIR circuit CET34 (BN/GN) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.

-------------------------------------------------
C4 CHECK TCS INPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND


- Measure the resistance between selector lever C307-6, circuit CET34 (BN/GN), harness side and ground.




- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?

Yes
INSTALL a new PCM. PROGRAM the PCM with the latest calibration level. PERFORM the solenoid strategy download procedure. REFER to solenoid body strategy in Automatic Transaxle/Transmission - 6R80 Solenoid Body Strategy. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
REPAIR circuit CET34 (BN/GN) for a short to ground. TEST the system for normal operation.
