Power-Up Sequence

Overview

This symptom-driven test is performed if the transmission system fails to fully power up at ignition on.

Detection

  • Display may be blank.
  • Engine cranking prohibited.
  • ServiceRanger may not connect to Transmission Control Module (TCM).

Note: Fault codes that set give additional information about performance issues detected on the vehicle. If a unit has an Active fault code, or repeated occurrences of an Inactive fault code, troubleshoot per the Fault Code Isolation Procedure Index.

Possible Causes

  • Vehicle Components
    • Batteries internal failure
  • Vehicle Harness - Power supply and Primary Data Link (J1939A)
    • Power or ground connections
    • Wiring shorted to power, shorted to ground or open
    • Terminals bent, spread, corroded, or loose
  • TCM
    • Internal Failure

Power-Up Sequence Test

A
Purpose:Inspect the batteries, in-line fuses and power and ground supplies to the TCM.

  1. Set vehicle parking brake and chock wheels.

  2. Key off.

  3. Inspect the vehicle charging/battery system and connections, verify the connectors are free from contamination and corrosion; the terminals are not bent, spread or loose; and there is no damage to the connector bodies.

  4. Inspect the transmission 10-amp Ignition and both 15-amp fuses/fusible links, verify the connectors are free from contamination and corrosion; the terminals are not bent, spread or loose; and there is no damage to the connector bodies.

  5. Inspect the vehicle harness and connectors from the power supply to the 20-Way TCM Vehicle Harness Connector, verify the connectors are free from contamination and corrosion; the terminals are not bent, spread or loose; and there is no damage to the connector bodies or harness.

    Note: Some chassis use a power and ground distribution block separate from the battery or may route power and ground to the starter. Be sure to clean and inspect connections at this location and at the battery.

  6. Measure voltage across all batteries. Record reading in table.

  7. Compare reading(s) in table.

  • If readings are out of range or damage is found, refer to OEM guidelines for repair or replacement of the vehicle charging/battery system, vehicle harness and/or 20-Way TCM Vehicle Harness Connector. Test complete.

  • If readings are in range and no damage is found, Go to Step B

Purpose:Verify Battery Voltage1 at the TCM.

  1. Key off.

  2. Disconnect 20-Way TCM Vehicle Harness Connector from TCM.

  3. Inspect 20-Way TCM Vehicle Harness Connector, verify connector is free from contamination and corrosion; terminals are not bent, spread or loose; and there is no damage to connector body.

  4. Inspect 20-Way TCM Vehicle Connector, verify connector is free from contamination and corrosion; terminals are not bent, spread or loose; and there is no damage to connector body.

  5. Measure voltage between 20-Way TCM Vehicle Harness Connector Pin 6 (Battery positive) and Pin 5 (Battery negative). Record reading in table.

  3. Compare reading(s) in table.

  • If readings are in range, Go to Step D

  • If readings are out of range, refer to OEM guidelines for repair or replacement of the vehicle charging/battery system, vehicle harness and/or 20-Way TCM Vehicle Harness Connector. Go to Step V

PinsRangeReading(s)
15 to 1611–15 V

Purpose:Verify Ignition Voltage at the TCM.

  1. Key on with engine off.

  2. Measure voltage between 20-Way TCM Vehicle Harness Connector Pin 10 (Ignition positive) and Pin 5 (Battery negative). Record reading in table.

  4. Connect ServiceRanger.

  5. Go To “Fault Codes”.

  6. Retrieve and record transmission fault codes, FMIs, occurrences, and timestamps.

  • If ServiceRanger connects and a fault code is Active, Go to Step G

  • If ServiceRanger connects and no fault code is Active, an intermittent wiring issue exists within the vehicle harness between the:

      • Vehicle power supply and 20-Way TCM Vehicle Harness Connector.
      • or
      • Vehicle Primary Data Link (J1939A) and the 20-Way TCM Vehicle Harness Connector.
    • Refer to OEM guidelines for repair or replacement. Go to Step V

  • If ServiceRanger does not connect, replace TCM, Go to Step V
