  1. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) DTCS PRESENT With the scan tool, read PCM DTCs. Are there any brake DTCs present? Yes Refer to «3.6L - DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX»(ref-489372) or «5.7L & 6.4L - DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX»(ref-489379) and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure . No Go To 2 .
  2. WIN DTCS PRESENT With the scan tool, read WIN DTCs. Are there any WIN DTCs present? Yes Refer to «DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING»(ref-489342-S13627600652012072600000) and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure. No Go To 3 .
  3. (K321) BTSI CONTROL CIRCUIT CHECK Turn the ignition off to the lock position. Disconnect the Shifter Lever Assembly harness connector. Ignition on, engine not running. With the scan tool under WIN, actuate the BTSI. NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (K321) BTSI Control circuit. Does the test light illuminate brightly while cycling on and off on all (K321) BTSI Control circuit? Yes Replace the Shifter Lever Assembly in accordance with the Service Information. Perform the NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to «NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-489366-S27132934282012072600000) . No Go To 4 .
  4. (K321) BTSI CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND Turn the ignition off to the lock position. Disconnect the WIN harness connector. NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary. Measure the resistance between ground and the (K321) BTSI Control circuit at the WIN harness connector. Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms? Yes Repair the (K321) BTSI Control circuit for a short to ground. Perform the NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST.
