Theory of Operation The Transmission Control System uses six electronically controlled solenoids that allow hydraulic fluid to be applied to various friction elements (clutches), which enables the gear requested. The continuity of each solenoid circuit is periodically tested. Each inactive solenoid is turned on for a few milliseconds, then off. Each active solenoid is turned off for a few milliseconds, then on. This pulsing of voltage to the solenoid causes an inductive spike which can be sensed by the Transmission Control System. If an inductive spike is not sensed by the Transmission Control System during the continuity check, it is tested again. If the test fails three consecutive times, the appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is set. If the solenoid test is run in response to a gear ratio or pressure switch error, one failure will result in setting the appropriate DTC.
When Monitored: Initially at power-up, then every 10 seconds thereafter. The solenoid circuits will also be tested immediately after a gear ratio or pressure switch error is detected. Set Condition: After three consecutive solenoid continuity test failures, or one failure if test is run in response to a gear ratio or pressure switch error. NOTE: This DTC is strictly an electrical fault and cannot be caused by any internal transmission failure other than an open in the Transmission Solenoid/TRS Assembly. If the Transmission Solenoid/TRS Assembly is in need of replacement do not replace the Valve Body.

Diagnostic Test
1. CHECK DTCS
With the scan tool, read DTCs. Are there any TIPM TCM Power Control Circuit or TCM Power Input DTCs present? Yes Refer to the Transmission category and perform the appropriate symptom.
No Go To 2
NOTE: Failure to remove the Starter Relay can cause a Transmission - No Response condition. Install the Transmission Simulator, Miller tool #8333. Ignition on, engine not running. With the scan tool, actuate the L/R Solenoid. Monitor the L/R Solenoid LED on the Transmission Simulator. Did the L/R Solenoid LED on the Transmission Simulator blink on and off? Yes

replace the entire Valve Body. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC 45RFE/545RFE/TRANS SOLENOID/TRS ASSY - REMOVAL) Perform 45RFE/545RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 21 TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Turn the ignition off to the lock position. Disconnect the Transmission Simulator, Miller tool #8333. Disconnect the PCM harness connectors. Measure the resistance between the (T20) L/R Solenoid Control circuit and all other circuits in the Transmission Solenoid/TRS Assembly harness connector. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms between the (T20) L/R Solenoid Control circuit and any other circuit(s) in the Transmission Solenoid/TRS Assembly harness connector? Yes Repair the (T20) L/R Solenoid Control circuit for a short to another circuit(s). Perform 45RFE/545RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 21 TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

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 (T20) L/R Solenoid Control circuit between the Transmission Solenoid/TRS Assembly harness connector and the appropriate terminal of Miller tool #8815. Is the resistance above 5.0 ohms? Yes Repair the (T20) L/R Solenoid Control circuit for an open. Perform 45RFE/545RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 21 TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

7. CHECK THE (T20) L/R SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
Measure the resistance between ground and the (T20) L/R Solenoid Control circuit. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? Yes Repair the (T20) L/R Solenoid Control circuit for a short to ground. Perform 45RFE/545RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 21 TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

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 the PCM per the Service Information. With the scan tool, perform QUICK LEARN. Perform 45RFE/545RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 21 TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
