Sensor Connector

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Inspect transmission control module connector for bent pins, corrosion, or moisture intrusion

2

Step 2: Disconnect transmission range sensor and measure voltage at TCM diagnostic input pin

3

Step 3: Check wiring harness for chafing, pinching, or routing near hot exhaust components

4

Step 4: Test transmission range sensor resistance values in all gear positions per service manual specifications

5

Step 5: If all circuits test normal, suspect internal TCM failure and consider replacement or reprogramming
