Diagnostic Test

1. PRE-DIAGNOSTIC CHECK OUT
NOTE: Low fluid level can be the cause of many transmission problems. If the fluid level is low, locate and repair the leak then check and adjust the fluid level.

NOTE: Always perform diagnostics with a fully charged battery to avoid false symptoms.

With the scan tool, read Engine DTCs. Check and repair all engine DTCs prior to performing transmission symptom diagnostics.
With the scan tool, read and record all Transmission DTCs.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary. Poor pin to terminal connections can set DTCs.

Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors. Repair as necessary.
Most DTCs set on start up but some must be set by driving the vehicle such that all diagnostic monitors have run.

NOTE: Check for any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.

Perform this procedure prior to Symptom diagnosis.

4. CAN C BUS +/- CIRCUIT OPEN
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the PCM C4 harness connector.
Disconnect the TCM C3 harness connector.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.

Measure the resistance of the CAN C BUS (+) circuit from the PCM C4 harness connector to the TCM C3 harness connector.
Measure the resistance of the CAN C BUS (-) circuit from the PCM C4 harness connector to the TCM C3 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms on both circuits?

Yes

- Go To 5

No

- Repair the CAN C BUS circuit(s) that measured above 5.0 ohms for an open.
- Perform NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Transmission Verification Test

5. PCM - ENGINE CAN MESSAGE MISSING
With the ignition off.
Reconnect the TCM C3 harness connector.
Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module. Powertrain Control Module - Removal.
With the scan tool, erase Transmission DTCs.
Start the engine.
With the brakes firmly applied, shift the gear selector into Drive.
With the scan tool, read Transmission DTCs.
Did DTC (P0600) ENGINE CAN MESSAGE MISSING set again?

Yes

- Replace the Transmission Control Module. Transmission Control Module - Removal.
- Perform NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Transmission Verification Test

No

- Test Complete.
