- Ignition OFF, disconnect PIM connector X1.
- 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.
- Pre-Adjust the J 38522Β variable signal generator to 50 percent duty cycle @ 250 Hz.
- 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.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the ATFP control module connector X1.
- 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.
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.
