Notes On INTERMITTENTS

Manipulate related BCM and ECM wiring in each gear range while observing BD41 or EI74 values. If a failure is induced, values will change indicating an open or short to ground. Ensure good terminal connections exist at BCM, ECM and PRND321 switch. If terminal contacts are good and code B127 continues to set, replace BCM.
