  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the sensor.
  2. Ignition ON, test for 8.3-9.3 V between the 8.5 V reference circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the 8.5 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.
  3. Disconnect the OSS connector.
  4. Test for 8.3-9.3 V between the OSS supply voltage circuit and ground.
    • If less than 8.3 V, test the OSS supply voltage circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground.
    • If greater than 9.3 V, test the OSS supply voltage circuit for a short to voltage.
  5. Perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Output Shaft Speed Input Test .
