Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, read TCM DTCs and record on work order.
    3. With the scan tool erase DTCs.
    4. Turn ignition off for ten seconds.
    5. Turn ignition on.
    6. Actuate the Upshift (+) Switch.
    7. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

  2. CHECK THE UPSHIFT (+) SWITCH CIRCUIT VOLTAGE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the paddle switches.
    3. Connect the negative lead of a DVOM to the (Z156) ground terminal and the positive lead to the (T830) Tap Shift Signal circuit.
    4. Turn the ignition to the Run position.

      What is the result?

      There is 4.8 to 5.2 volts present on the (T830) Tap Shift Signal circuit. 

      • Go To  8

      There is 4.7 volts or less present on the (T830) Tap Switch Signal circuit. 

      • Go To  3

      There is 5.3 volts or greater present on the (T830) Tap Switch Signal circuit. 

      Go to  6

  3. CHECK THE (T830) TAP SHIFT SIGNAL CIRCUIT VOLTAGE 
    1. Disconnect the paddle switches.
    2. Using a DVOM, connect the negative lead to a known good ground and connect the positive lead to the (T830) Tap Shift Signal circuit at the TCM side harness connector.

      Is there 4.8 to 5.2 volts present on the (T830) Tap Shift Signal circuit.?

      Yes 

      • Go To  7

      No 

      • Go To  4
  4. CHECK THE (T830) TAP SHIFT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the TCM harness connector.
    3. Disconnect the Paddle Switch connector.
    4. Measure the resistance of the (T830) TAP Shift Signal circuit.

      Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  5

      No 

      • Repair the (T830) TAP Shift Signal circuit for an open or high resistance.
      • Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  5. CHECK THE (T830) TAP SHIFT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the TCM harness connector.
    3. Disconnect the Paddle Switch connector.
    4. Measure the resistance of the (T830) TAP Shift Signal circuit and ground.

      Is there continuity between the (T830) TAP Shift Signal circuit and ground?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (T830) TAP Shift Signal circuit for a short to ground.
      • Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

  6. CHECK THE (T830) TAP SHIFT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO ANOTHER CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the TCM harness connector.
    3. Disconnect the Paddle Switch connector.
    4. Measure the resistance of the (T830) TAP Shift Signal circuit and all other circuits at the TCM harness connector.

      Is there continuity between the (T830) TAP Shift Signal circuit and any other circuit?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (T830) TAP Shift Signal circuit for a short to another circuit.
      • Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

  7. CHECK THE (Z156) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the TCM harness connector.
    3. Disconnect the Paddle Switch connector.
    4. Measure the resistance of the (Z156) Ground circuit.

      Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  8

      No 

      • Repair the (Z156) Ground circuit for an open or high resistance.
      • Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  8. REPLACE THE PADDLE SWITCH AND RETEST FOR DTC 
    1. Replace the Paddle switch.
    2. Connect the component and all harness connectors.
    3. Using the Environmental Data or When Monitored Conditions above, operate the vehicle within the conditions that set the DTC.
    4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      No
