When servicing the vehicle with the VIN you entered, the following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the described symptoms.
The 4L80E/4L85E may set a DTC P0706 (Transmission Range Switch Performance) and exhibit a no start condition.
Install the latest PCM calibration titled "New calibration to reduce the potential for setting P0706. Also addresses 3-2 downshift feel." With the new calibration, if the P0706 diagnostic fails, the software assumes Park if the engine is not running. If the engine is running, software uses PSM (pressure switch manifold) as backup.
