  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect PIM connector X1.
  2. Ignition ON, test for 11-13V on the Trans. Aux. Oil Pump Control circuit from PIM connector X1 terminal 5 and chassis ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for an open or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ATFP Control Module.
  3. IMPORTANT: Only connect the J 38522Β  to the ATFP control circuit when adjusted to 50 percent duty cycle. Duty cycles of less than 50 percent may damage the ATFP pump assembly.
  4. Pre-Adjust the J 38522Β  variable signal generator to 50 percent duty cycle @ 250 Hz.
  5. Connect the J 38522Β  variable signal generator to the Trans. Aux. Oil Pump Control circuit, from the PIM connector X1 terminal 5 and ground and listen for ATFP motor operation.
    • If pump operation is audible, replace the PIM.
    • If pump operation is not audible, continue with Circuit/System Testing.
  6. Ignition OFF, disconnect the ATFP control module connector X1.
  7. Ignition ON, test for 0V on the Trans. Aux. Oil Pump control circuit from PIM connector X1 terminal 5 and chassis ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage.
    • If equal to the specified range, replace the ATFP control module.
