Installation Procedures

Installing the Transmission Tester and TR Testing Cable "E" 418-F107 (007-00111) or equivalent with Digital TR Sensor Overlay 007-00131 or equivalent at the transmission connector allows separation of the digital TR sensor electronics from the vehicle electronics.

Testing may cause additional fault codes to be set. Therefore, it is important that all DTC;s are erased whenever repairs are made. To verify elimination of all codes, rerun OBD test.

The following manuals will assist in diagnosis of electronically controlled transmissions:
- Powertrain Control / Emissions Diagnosis Manual (6).
- Transmission Reference Manual.
1. For proper Digital TR Sensor Diagnosis follow Pinpoint Test D.
2. Disconnect vehicle harness at digital transmission TR sensor.
3. Set the two-way switch in the down position. (This switch will stay in the same position for all digital TR sensor testing.)





4. Attach the Digital TR sensor overlay 007-00131 or equivalent to the transmission tester.





Affixing the overlay will immobilize the two-way switch (set in Step 2) so it cannot be accidentally moved to an incorrect setting during testing.
5. Select and connect interface cable "E" 418-F107 (007-00111) or equivalent to the tester and then black connector (Digital) to TR sensor.





6. Set Analog/ Digital Switch on TR-E Cable to Digital.

CAUTION: Route all cables away from heat sources to prevent damage to cables during testing.

Use the transmission tester extender cable when running tests with the transmission on the vehicle.





7. Turn large dial to DIGITAL TR SENSOR TEST
8. Plug transmission tester power cable into cigar lighter socket

CAUTION: For resistance checks, be sure that the tester selector switch is set to the TR SENSOR TEST position or damage to the ohmmeter may result.

All LEDs should light for a short period and then turn off. This is the Tester's internal circuit check.
