DRIVE CYCLE PROCEDURE Auto Transmission DTCs

NOTE: The Transmission Drive Cycle Test must be followed exactly. Abnormal operation has
to occur four times consecutively for codes P0781, P0782, and P0783 to be set, and five
times consecutively for continuous codes P1728, P1744, P0741, P0743. 

NOTE: When performing the Transmission Drive Cycle Test, refer to Shift Solenoid
Operation Chart in the Specifications portion of this section for proper solenoid operation. 

Record and then erase Quick Test codes. 

Warm engine to normal operating temperature. 

Make sure transmission fluid level is correct. 

With transmission in OVERDRIVE, moderately accelerate from stop to 80 km/h (50 mph).
This allows the transmission to shift into fourth gear. Hold speed and throttle open steady
for a minimum of 15 seconds. 

With transmission in OVERDRIVE, press transmission control switch (TCIL should illuminate)
and moderately accelerate from stop to 64 km/h (40 mph). This allows transmission to shift
into third gear. Hold speed and throttle opening steady for a minimum of 15 seconds (30
seconds above 4000 ft). 

Press TCS (TCIL should turn off) and accelerate from 64 km/h (40 mph) to 80 km/h (50
mph). This allows transmission to shift into fourth gear. Hold speed and throttle position
steady for a minimum of 15 seconds. 

With transmission in fourth gear and maintaining steady speed and throttle opening, apply
and release brake pedal (2455) lightly (to operate stoplamps). Then hold speed and throttle
steady for an additional 5 seconds (minimum). 

Brake to a stop and remain stopped for a minimum of 20 seconds. 

Repeat Steps 4 through 8 at least five times. 

Perform Quick Test and record continuous codes.
