Circuit Schematic
Additional Wiring
Pressure switches are normally off or open (no pressure applied) and read high (+12 volts). When an element is
applied, the corresponding pressure switch closes to ground (0 volts) or turns on. The controller tests the OD
and 2/4 pressure switches when they are off (when the corresponding friction element is not applied) by briefly
applying the OD and 2/4 elements which will cause the corresponding pressure switch to close. The test verifies
that the switches are operational and that the switch will close when the corresponding element is applied. If a
switch fails to respond, it is re-tested. The MIL illuminates and the transmission system defaults to limp-in
mode.
Monitor Conditions
When Monitored:
In any forward gear with engine speed above 1000 RPM, shortly after a shift and every minute thereafter.
Set Conditions
l Set Condition:
After a shift into a forward gear, with engine speed greater than 1000 RPM, the PCM momentarily turns
on element pressure to the clutch circuits that don't have pressure to identify the correct pressure switch
closes. If the pressure switch does not close 2 times, the DTC sets.

Yes
No
Go to 2.
2. CHECK FOR RELATED DTCS
Are any of the DTCs P0732, P0734 and/or P0846 present also?
Yes
Replace the Transmission Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly per the Service Information.
Perform 42RLE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST.
No
Go to 3.
3. CHECK IF THE DTC IS CURRENT
Is the status Active or is the Starts Since Set counter 2 or less for this DTC?
Yes
Go to 4.
No
Go to 9.
4. CHECK THE PCM AND WIRING USING THE TRANSMISSION SIMULATOR
CAUTION: Removal of the Starter Solenoid Relay from the TIPM will prevent the
vehicle from being started in gear.

WARNING: The Starter Solenoid Relay must be removed from the TIPM. Failure
to do so can result in personal injury or death.
Install the Transmission Simulator, Miller tool #8333 and the Electronic Transmission Adapter kit.
With the Transmission Simulator, turn the Pressure Switch selector switch to OD.
With the scan tool, monitor the UD Pressure Switch state while pressing the Pressure Switch Test button
on the Transmission Simulator.
Wiggle the wires leading to the PCM while pressing and holding the Pressure Switch Test button.
Did the OD Pressure Switch state change to closed and remain closed while wiggling the wires?
Yes
Disassemble and inspect the Valve Body per the Service Information and repair or replace as
necessary. If no problems are found in the Valve Body, replace the Transmission Solenoid/Pressure
Switch Assembly.
Perform 42RLE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST.
No
Go to 5.
5. CHECK THE (T9) OD PRESSURE SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness
connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal
to pin connection. Install Miller tool #8815 to perform diagnosis.
Measure the resistance of the (T9) OD Pressure Signal circuit between the Transmission
Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly harness connector and the appropriate terminal of Miller tool #8815.
Yes
No
Go to 6.
6. CHECK THE (T9) OD PRESSURE SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check (T16) Transmission Control Output circuit in the
Transmission Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly harness connector.
NOTE: The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a
direct connection to the battery.
Yes
Using the schematics as a guide, check the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) terminals for
corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits. If
no problems are found, replace and program the PCM per the Service Information. With the scan
tool, perform Quick Learn.
Perform 42RLE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST.
