Specified value: 1.5 ohms Max.
If the specified value was not obtained
- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).
- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If no malfunction is found in the wiring and the resistance was not OK
- Replace the Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor G93. For all Automatic Transmission system removal/installation procedures and torque specifications. Refer to «38 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - GEARS, HYDRAULIC CONTROLS»(ref-255022-S24660042882007052300000) .
If no malfunction is found in the wiring and the resistance was OK
- Replace the Transmission Control Module (TCM) J217. For all Automatic Transmission system removal/installation procedures and torque specifications. Refer to «38 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - GEARS, HYDRAULIC CONTROLS»(ref-255022-S24660042882007052300000) .
- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to --> «Diagnostic Mode 04: Reset/delete diagnostic data»(ref-255014-S10840575532007052300000)
- Perform a road test to verify repair.
If the DTC does not return
Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to --> Readiness Code .
- End diagnosis.
If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK
- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220. Refer to --> «Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220 , replacing»(ref-255014-S25909326542007052300000) .
