Transmission Tester Setup

Installing the Transmission Tester (set up procedures)

Installing the transmission tester at the solenoid body connector allows the separation of the vehicle electronics from the transmission electronics. Disconnecting the normal vehicle electronics will in itself set additional DTCs and cause firm shifts. (Disconnecting the solenoid body connector defaults the transmission to maximum line pressure).

1. Disconnect emission harness at solenoid body connector and at TSS connector on the oil pump body in LH wheel arch.

Caution: Do not attempt to pry off connectors with a screw-driver. This will damage the connector and could result in a transaxle concern.






2. Turn tester solenoid select switch to the "OHMS CHECK" position.

Caution: Route all cables away from HEAT SOURCE.






3. Install SST onto tester. Connect SST to transaxle tester and then to the appropriate solenoid body connector and TSS connector.






4. Connect the SST to the line pressure inspection port.






5. Plug transaxle tester power supply plug into cigarette lighter receptacle. At this time, all LED's should illuminate for a short period and them turn off. This is the tester internal circuit check.
6. Bench/Drive switch set to "BENCH" mode.

Note: During tester usage additional DTCs may be set. Therefore, it is important that all DTCs are erased after repairs have been made. To verify elimination of all DTCs rerun On-Board Diagnostic Test.
