Requirements
-
Respective fuses must be OK.
-
Battery voltage must be at least 11.5 volts.
-
All electrical consumers such as, lights and rear window defroster must be switched off.
-
Parking brake must be engaged or else daylight driving lights will be switched on.
-
Ground (GND) connections to transmission must be OK.
-
Selector lever must be in -P- position.
-
Ignition switched off.
Check solenoid valves:
-
Vehicles with 01 M transmission.
-
Vehicles with 09A transmission.
Work sequence (vehicles with 01 M transmission)
-
Disconnect 12-pin harness connector at transmission.
Observe safety precautions.
-
Check harness connector for contact corrosion and ingress of water.
If harness connector is not OK:
-
Repair malfunction.
-
Erase DTC memory of Transmission Control Module (TCM). Diagnostic mode 4: Reset/erase diagnostic data. See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Scan Tool Testing and Procedures/With Generic Scan Tool/Diagnostic
Mode 4: Reset/Erase Diagnostic Data
-
Generate readiness code. See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and
Readiness Codes
If harness connector is OK:
-
Check resistance of solenoid valves.
Checking resistance of solenoid valves
-
Re-connect 12-pin connector.
-
Connect test box to control module wiring harness. connect test box for wiring test. See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes/Scan Tool Connecting/Test Box, Connecting For Wiring Test
-
Measure resistance of solenoid valves at test box between sockets:
NOTE: Resistance value is valid at approx. 20 degrees C. At higher temperatures, resistance value increases.
