Short-Circuit To Ground
Short-circuit to ground
Checking solenoid S2
- Ignition on.
- Move gear selector to position P.
Activate solenoid S2. Read off solenoid status. The status should alternate between OFF/ON.
Does the status alternate?
Yes - Intermittent fault
No - Checking signal cable resistance to ground in the transmission
-------------------------------------------------
Checking signal cable resistance to ground in the transmission
- Ignition off.
- Remove the air cleaner (ACL) housing to access the transmission connector.
- Disconnect the transmission connector.
Connect an ohmmeter between the transmission connector terminal 22 (transmission side) and ground.
The ohmmeter should read approx. 12-18 ohms.
OK - Checking for a short-circuit
Not OK - Checking solenoid S2
-------------------------------------------------
Checking for a short-circuit
Check the cable between the transmission connector terminal 22 and the transmission control module (TCM) #A28 for short-circuit to ground according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
Continue - Verification
-------------------------------------------------
Checking solenoid S2
- Ignition off.
- Open the control system according to Inspecting / replacing solenoids Inspecting / Replacing Solenoids.
- Disconnect solenoid S2.
Connect an ohmmeter between the pin on solenoid S2 and the transmission housing.
The ohmmeter should read approx. 12-18.ohms.
OK - Checking for a short-circuit
Not OK - Replacing component
-------------------------------------------------
Checking for a short-circuit
Check the cable between solenoid S2 and transmission connector terminal 22 for a short-circuit to ground according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
To replace cable harness, see Inspecting/cable harness to solenoids Inspecting/Cable Harness To Solenoids.
Select "Continue" when the fault has been repaired.
Continue - Verification
-------------------------------------------------
Replacing component
- Ignition off.
Try a new solenoid S2 according to Inspecting / replacing solenoids Inspecting / Replacing Solenoids.
Select "Continue" when the fault has been repaired.

Hint: After repairs have been completed they must be verified as follows to ensure that the fault has been eliminated:
- Ignition on.
- Move gear selector to position P.
Activate solenoid S2. Read off solenoid status. The status should alternate between OFF/ON.
Does the status alternate?
Yes - VERIFIED
No - VERIFICATION FAILED

Information
Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.
Do you want to exit fault-tracing?
Yes - Exit fault-tracing
No - Attempt New Test

Intermittent fault
Short-circuit to ground. Intermittent fault
Intermittent fault
Check the wiring between solenoid S2 in the transmission and TCM #A28 for intermittent short-circuit to ground according to Checking wiring and terminals. Intermittent faults Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults.
Select "Continue" when the fault has been repaired.

Fault-tracing information
If the fault is intermittent, do not verify fault-tracing if the fault does not recur.
It is possible to view the information again, or leave fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
