• Ignition off
• The breakout box connected
• Connect the control module.
• Transmission connector D disconnected.

  Check the transmission control module (TCM) by measuring the resistance between terminals #A49 (#A49) and #B7 (#A67) on the breakout box. The resistance must be approximately 9 kΩ.

  NOTE:

  When removing the transmission connector, the control module may store diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) for the gear-shift position sensor, the shift solenoids, the temperature sensor etc.

  Try a new control module if the resistance is infinite.

  Other information: 

  • To disconnect the transmission connectors, see CONNECTORS, TRANSMISSION, DISCONNECTING / CONNECTING
  • To replace the control module, see TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM), REPLACING
  • For information about signals, see SIGNAL DESCRIPTION. TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) .
