Verify that the Transmission Control Module is at the latest calibration level.

Is the TCM at the latest calibration?

Yes

- Go To 3

No

- Flash the TCM so it is at the latest calibration level.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test

3. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)

Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors for the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.

Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.

Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.

Were any problems found?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test
