| Value(s)
| Yes
| No

Important: Whenever the transmission 20-way connector is disconnected and the engine
is running, multiple DTCs will set. Be sure to clear these codes when you
are finished with this procedure.
Important: This procedure tests the Automatic Transmission Fluid Pressure (TFP)
Manual Valve Position Switch circuits and the Automatic Transmission Fluid
Temperature (TFT) Sensor circuit. Do not use this procedure to test other
Automatic Transmission circuits. Refer to 4L60-E

| Inspect
for high resistance or a short:
• | Inspect the A/T wiring harness assembly for poor electrical connections
at the automatic transmission 20-way connector, and at the TFP manual valve
position switch. Look for the following conditions: |
- | A broken wire inside the insulation |
• | If diagnosing for an intermittent condition, massage the wiring
harness while watching the test equipment for a change. |
