Circuit/System Verification
1. Ignition ON, verify with a scan tool the Tap Up/Down Switch parameter displays ON in the Chassis Data list under BCM.
2. Ignition ON, verify with a scan tool the Tap Up/Down parameter displays UP when pressing the plus (+) switch and Down when pressing the
minus (-) switch.
3. Ignition ON, verify with a scan tool the Driver Shift Control parameter in the Transmission Data list changes from, Inactive to Active when
placing the automatic transmission shift lever in manual mode position.
4. Ignition ON, verify with a scan tool the Driver Shift Request Switch 1 displays NONE in the transmission data list.
5. Ignition ON, verify with a scan tool the Driver Shift Request Switch 1 displays Upshift when pressing the plus (+) switch and Downshift
when pressing the minus (-) switch.
6. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC 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
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the automatic transmission shift lever harness connector.
2. Ignition ON, verify with a scan tool the Tap Up/Down Switch parameter displays OFF in the Chassis Data list under BCM.
3. Ignition ON, test for greater than 11 volts between the ignition voltage circuit terminal 4 and ground at the battery negative post.
瀚慖f less than the specified value, test the ignition voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal,
replace the BCM.
4. Ignition OFF, test for 6.6-7.0 K ohms between terminal 3 and terminal 4 on the automatic transmission shift lever harness connector. Also,
test for 3.7-4.2 K ohms when pressing the minus (-) switch and 1.7-2.0 K ohms when selecting the plus (+) switch.
瀚慖f not within the specified values, replace the automatic transmission shift lever.
5. Test the signal circuit between the BCM and the automatic transmission manual shift switch for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
