P0760-OD SOLENOID CIRCUIT
For a complete wiring diagram Consult Diagrams/Electrical.
Theory of Operation
Four solenoids are used to control the friction elements (clutches). The continuity of the solenoid circuits is periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the PCM during this test. If no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a gear ratio or pressure switch error occurs. In this case, one failure will result in the appropriate DTC being set. The MIL will illuminate and the transmission goes into neutral, if the DTC is set above 35 Km/h (22 mph), Limp-in mode when vehicle speed is below 35 Km/h (22 mph).
- When Monitored:
Initially at ignition on, then every 10 seconds thereafter. The solenoids will also be tested immediately after a gear ratio error or pressure switch error is detected.
- Set Condition:
Three consecutive solenoid continuity test failures, or one failure if test is run in response to a gear ratio or pressure switch error.
Always perform the 40/41TE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Testing and Inspection
Diagnostic Test
1. CHECK FOR RELATED DTCS
With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Are there any Transmission Control Relay or TCM Power Input DTCs present also?
Yes
- Diagnose and repair the DTC(s).
No
- Go to 2
2. CHECK IF THE DTC IS CURRENT
With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Is the status Active or is the STARTS SINCE SET counter set at 0 for this DTC?
Yes
- Go to 3
No
- Go to 8
3. CHECK THE PCM AND WIRING USING THE TRANSMISSION SIMULATOR
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 started in gear.
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 Electronic Transmission Adapter kit.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool, actuate the OD Solenoid.
Monitor the OD Solenoid LED on the Transmission Simulator.
Did the OD Solenoid LED on the Transmission Simulator blink on and off during actuation?
Yes
- Go To 4
No
- Go to 5
4. WIGGLE TEST THE WIRING AND CONNECTORS USING THE TRANSMISSION SIMULATOR
With the scan tool, continue to actuate the OD Solenoid.
While monitoring the OD Solenoid LED on the Transmission Simulator, wiggle the related wiring harness and connectors.
Did the OD Solenoid LED on the Transmission Simulator continue to blink on and off during the wiggle test?
Yes
- Replace the Transmission Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly.
- Perform 40/41TE VERIFICATION TEST 40/41TE Transmission Verification Test
No
- Repair wiring or connectors as necessary.
- Perform 40/41TE VERIFICATION TEST 40/41TE Transmission Verification Test
5. CHECK THE (T60) OD CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
Disconnect the PCM C4 harness connector.
Disconnect the Transmission Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly harness connector.
CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller tool #8815 to perform diagnosis.
Measure the resistance of the (T60) OD Control circuit between the appropriate terminal of Miller tool #8815 and the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly harness connector.
Is the resistance above 5.0 ohms?
Yes
- Repair the (T60) OD Control circuit for an open.
- Perform 40/41TE VERIFICATION TEST 40/41TE Transmission Verification Test
No
- Go to 6
6. CHECK THE (T60) OD CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
Measure the resistance between ground and the (T60) OD Control circuit.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
Yes
- Repair the (T60) OD Control circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform 40/41TE VERIFICATION TEST 40/41TE Transmission Verification Test
No
- Go to 7
7. CHECK THE (T60) OD CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool under TIPM, actuate the Transmission.
Measure the voltage of the (T60) OD Control circuit.
Is the voltage above 0.5 volts?
Yes
- Repair the (T60) OD Control circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform 40/41TE VERIFICATION TEST 40/41TE Transmission Verification Test
No
- Using the schematics as a guide, check the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits. Check for Service Information Tune-ups or Service Bulletins for any possible causes that may apply. If no problems are found, replace the PCM. With the scan tool, perform QUICK LEARN.
- Perform 40/41TE VERIFICATION TEST 40/41TE Transmission Verification Test
8. CHECK THE WIRING AND CONNECTORS
The conditions necessary to set the DTC are not present at this time.
Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors specific to this circuit.
Wiggle the wires while checking for shorted and open circuits.
With the scan tool, check the DTC EVENT DATA to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.
Were there any problems found?
Yes
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform 40/41TE VERIFICATION TEST 40/41TE Transmission Verification Test
No
- Test Complete.
