Checking the wiring and cables
Check the following:
- The fuse in the engine compartment fusebox for the transmission control module (TCM).

Hint: If the fuse is blown, check the circuit after the fuse. Check for a short-circuit to ground. Then replace the fuse

- The cable between the engine compartment fusebox and the transmission control module (TCM). Check for an open-circuit
- The cable between the transmission control module (TCM) and ground. Also check the ground terminal. Check for loose connections and oxidation
