Diagnostic Aids
Check harness routing for a potential short to ground in signal circuit. Temperature should rise steadily to approximately 85°C then stabilize. A skewed sensor could result in delayed shifts or TCC enabled complaints.
Use temperature-to-resistance table to check sensor at various levels to determine if sensor is out-of-calibration, which could result in firm shifts or TCC enable.
