Circuit/System Verification
Note: If other DTCs are set, diagnose those DTCs first.
1. Engine idling in Park, with parking brake applied and drive wheels chocked.
2. Perform the Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check (See: Transmission and Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Testing
and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check) to verify correct fluid level and
condition.
3. Perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Cleaning (See: Transmission and Drivetrain/Automatic
Transmission/Transaxle/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control
Module Assembly Cleaning) to dislodge debris and free up the valves.
4. Monitor the Transmission Fluid Pressure (TFP) switch 5 with a scan tool. Place the gear select lever in Park, Reverse, and Neutral range.
Verify the TFP switch 5 parameter states are correct for Park, Reverse, and Neutral. Refer to Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch Logic (
See: Specifications/Mechanical Specifications/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/System Specifications/Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch
Logic).
5. Place the gear select lever in Drive range. Command the shift transmission with a scan tool through all forward ranges. Verify the TFP switch
