Pinpoint Tests

PINPOINT TEST C: THE TCS DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY

-------------------------------------------------
C1 CHECK CIRCUIT CET34 (BN/GN) FOR VOLTAGE


- Disconnect: Transmission Control Switch (TCS) C2135.
- Inspect C2135, C210 and C146 for damaged or pushed-out pins, corrosion or loose wires. Repair as necessary.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure the voltage between TCS C2135-2, circuit CET34 (BN/GN), harness side and ground.




- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?

Yes
GO to C3.

No
GO to C2

-------------------------------------------------
C2 CHECK CIRCUIT CET34 (BN/GN) FOR AN OPEN


- Disconnect: Transmission Control Module (TCM) C1548.
- Inspect for damaged or pushed-out pins, corrosion or loose wires. Repair as necessary.
- Measure the resistance between TCS C2135-2, circuit CET34 (BN/GN) and TCM C1548-1, circuit CET34 (BN/GN), harness side.




- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes
GO to C3.

No
REPAIR circuit CET34 (BN/GN) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.

-------------------------------------------------
C3 CHECK CIRCUIT GD133 (BK) FOR AN OPEN


- Measure the voltage between TCS, C2135-2 and C2135-1, harness side.




- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?

Yes
INSTALL a new selector lever. REFER to Selector Lever - Column Shift Selector Lever - Column Shift. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
REPAIR circuit GD133 (BK) for an open. If no open is found, REPLACE the TCM. TEST the system for normal operation.
