Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

After On-Board Diagnostics

NOTE: The vehicle wiring harness, powertrain control module and non-transmission sensors may affect transmission operations. Repair these concerns first.

After the on-board diagnostic procedures are completed, repair all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

Begin with non-transmission related DTCs, then repair any transmission-related DTCs. Refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart for information on condition and symptoms. This chart aids in diagnosing internal transmission concerns and external non-transmission inputs. The pinpoint tests are used in diagnosing transmission electrical concerns. Make sure that the vehicle wiring harness and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) are diagnosed as well.
