Diagnostic Aids
A TFP switch may malfunction due to normal debris in the transmission fluid causing a TFP Switch DTC to intermittently set. This type of
condition should not be immediately noticeable to a customer, as the switch outputs are used for shift adaptive pressure and do not cause
transmission symptoms unless the switch malfunctions continuously for an extended period of time.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Engine idling in Park with parking brake applied, and drive wheels chocked.
2. Monitor the Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch 1, Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch 3, Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch 4, and
Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch 5 parameters with a scan tool.
3. Place the gear select lever in Park, Reverse, and Neutral range. Verify the TFP switch parameter states are correct for each range. Refer to
Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch Logic (See: Specifications/Mechanical Specifications/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/System
Specifications/6L45/6L50/6L80/6L90 - Automatic Transmission/Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch Logic).
4. Place the gear select lever in Drive range. Command the shift transmission with a scan tool through all forward ranges. Verify the TFP switch
parameter states are correct for each range. Refer to Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch Logic (See: Specifications/Mechanical
Specifications/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/System Specifications/6L45/6L50/6L80/6L90 - Automatic Transmission/Transmission
Fluid Pressure Switch Logic).
5. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC to verify the TDC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the
conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
Circuit/System Testing
Note: You must perform the Circuit/System Verification first.
1. Ignition OFF. Remove the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly. Refer to Control Valve Body Assembly Removal (See: Transmission and
Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Service and Repair/Overhaul/6L45/6L50/6L80/6L90 - Automatic Transmission/5. Control
Valve Body Assembly Removal).
2. Perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection (See: Transmission and Drivetrain/Automatic
