Repair Procedure 1.Using Techstream, save Freeze Frame data, clear DTCs (if set), and perform a test drive. Does the MIL “ON” reoccur with transmission performance DTCs resetting? NOTE Most transmission performance DTCs are two-trip detection logic DTCs. Does the transmission display any transmission shifting issues?
  • YES to A or B — Go to step 2.
  • NO to A and B — Continue test driving the vehicle and try to duplicate the MIL “ON” orabnormal transmission shifting. If unable to duplicate complaint, return the vehicle tothe customer. Do NOT attempt to repair the vehicle.
2.Check the transmission for evidence of leakage, and address as necessary. 3.Check the transmission fluid level. Refer to the Technical Information System (TIS), applicable model and model year Repair Manual:

  • YES — Go to step 4.
  • NO — Adjust fluid level to correct level, then repeat step 3 to confirm correct fluid level.
Does the transmission fluid smell burnt or have a gritty feel from contamination? NOTE It is normal for WS transmission fluid to change from a clear red color when new to an opaque brown color with use.
  • YES — Reprogram the ECM (PCM) per steps 5 – 6, then replace the transmission assembly per step 8.
  • NO — Go to step 5.
5.Flash reprogram the ECM (PCM). Check for the Authorized Modifications Label affixed to the vehicle in the location. Confirm if the ECM (PCM) calibration has been updated. If the calibration ID listed is NOT the latest ECM (PCM) calibration, go to step B.
