- Ignition ON, test for 8.3-9.3 V between the automatic transmission output shaft speed sensor ignition circuit terminal A and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control solenoid valve assembly.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ignition circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control solenoid valve assembly.
- Ignition Off, connect the red lead of J 38522Β to the signal circuit terminal B and the black lead to the ignition circuit terminal A.
- Adjust the J 38522Β to 8 V, the Frequency to 120 Hz and the Percent Duty Cycle to 50 percent.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Transmission OSS parameter is between 100-400 RPM.
- If not within the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage short to ground open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control solenoid valve assembly.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B14A Automatic Transmission Output Shaft Speed Sensor.
