PINPOINT TEST B: TCS DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY (MKZ ONLY)
-------------------------------------------------
B1 TEST THE IC
- Connect the scan tool.
- Using the scan tool, monitor the TCS PID while cycling the Transmission Control Switch (TCS).
- Does the TCS PID cycle from depressed to not depressed?
Yes
REFER to Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators.
No
GO to B2.
-------------------------------------------------
B2 TEST THE SELECTOR LEVER GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: Selector Lever Harness C3233.
- Measure the resistance between selector lever harness C3233-5, circuit GD116 (BK/VT), vehicle harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes
GO to B3.
No
REPAIR the selector lever ground circuit for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.
-------------------------------------------------
B3 TEST THE TCS CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: Transmission Control Module (TCM) C1533.
- Measure the resistance between selector lever harness C3233-6, circuit CET34 (BN/GN), vehicle harness side and TCM C1533-7 circuit CET34 (BN/GN), vehicle harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes
GO to B4.
No
REPAIR the circuit for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.
-------------------------------------------------
B4 TEST THE TCS CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure the resistance between selector lever harness C3233-6, circuit CET34 (BN/GN), vehicle harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
Yes
GO to B5.
No
REPAIR the circuit for a short to ground. TEST the system for normal operation.
-------------------------------------------------
B5 TEST THE TCS
- Measure the resistance between selector lever harness C3233-5 and C3233-6, component side, while cycling the TCS.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms when pressed and greater than 10,000 ohms when released?
Yes
INSTALL a new TCM. TEST the system for normal operation.
No
INSTALL a new selector lever knob. REFER to Selector Lever Knob - 3.5L Selector Lever Knob. TEST the system for normal operation.
