Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode

2. Perform the scan tool control function:Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5 - Increase & Decrease

Verify the scan tool parameter:

  • Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5 Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status=Not Run or OK
  • Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5 Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status=Not Run or OK
  • Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5 Control Circuit Open Test Status=Not Run or OK
  • If not the specified state
  • Refer to Circuit/System Testing
  • Go to next step: If the specified state

3. Perform the scan tool control function:Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5 - Enable & Disable

Verify the component produces a clicking sound:Q27E Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5

  • If the component does not produce a sound

Refer to Circuit/System Testing

  • Go to next step: If the component produces a sound

4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Verify the DTC does not set.

  • If the DTC sets

Refer to Circuit/System Testing

  • Go to next step: If the DTC is not set

5. All OK.

Circuit/System Testing

NOTE: It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.

1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off

NOTE: Twisting or tilting of the transmission control module electrical connector while disconnecting may result in bent or misaligned electrical terminal pins.

2. Disconnect the electrical connector:X2@K71 Transmission Control Module

3. Test for 5.0 to 5.6 ohms between the test points:Control circuit terminal 5 & Low: Reference circuit terminal 12@Control module harness

  • If not between 5.0 and 5.6 ohms
  1. Remove the component:Control Valve Body Cover
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector:Q27E Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5
  3. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:
    • Control circuit terminal 2@Component harness & Control circuit terminal 5@Control module harness
    • Low: Reference circuit terminal 1@Component harness & Low: Reference circuit terminal 12@Control module harness
    • If 2 ohms or greater - Replace the component:Automatic Transmission Wiring Harness
    • If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component:Q27E Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5
  • Go to next step: If between 5.0 and 5.6 ohms

4. Test for infinite resistance between the test points:

  • Control circuit terminal 5 & Transmission Case
  • Low: Reference circuit terminal 12 & Transmission Case
  • If less than infinite resistance
  1. Remove the component:Control Valve Body Cover
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector:Q27E Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5
  3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points:
    • Control circuit terminal 2@Component harness & Transmission Case
    • Low: Reference circuit terminal 1@Component harness & Transmission Case
    • If less than infinite resistance - Replace the component:Automatic Transmission Wiring Harness
    • If infinite resistance - Replace the component:Control Valve Body
  • Go to next step: If infinite resistance

5. Replace the component:K71 Transmission Control Module

Component Testing

1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off

2. Disconnect the electrical connector:Q27E Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5

NOTE: The component's temperature should be 19 to 21ºC (66 to 70ºF) while testing.

3. Test for 5.0 to 5.6 ohms between the test points:Control terminal 2 & Low: Reference terminal 1

  • If not between 5.0 and 5.6 ohms

Replace the component:Control Valve Body

  • Go to next step: If between 5.0 and 5.6 ohms

4. Test for infinite resistance between the test points:Each terminal of the component & The component's housing

  • If less than infinite resistance

Replace the component:Control Valve Body

  • Go to next step: If infinite resistance

5. All OK.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the repair: Refer to Diagnostic Repair Verification

  • Refer to Control Valve Body Replacement
  • Refer to Wiring Harness Wire Replacement
  • For control module replacement, programming, and setup: Refer to Control Module: References
