2. Install DT-48493 to the vehicle harness connector X176. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the Direction IMS switch ground circuit
and battery positive.
瀚慖f the test lamp does not illuminate, disconnect PIM connector X1 and test the ground circuit for an open, high resistance or short to
voltage condition.
瀚慖f the circuit tests normal, replace the PIM.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between each Direction IMS signal circuit at DT-48493 and the ground circuit terminal. The scan tool
parameter should display LOW for each signal circuit when grounded.
瀚慖f a scan tool parameter always displays HIGH, disconnect PIM connector X1 and test the circuit for an open, high resistance or short to
voltage condition.
瀚慖f the circuit tests normal, replace the PIM.
4. Disconnect the transmission 16-way X175 connector. Install DT-47825-10 to the vehicle harness. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire
between the Starter signal circuit terminal and ground. The scan tool parameter should display LOW when the signal circuit is grounded.
瀚慖f the scan tool parameter always displays HIGH, disconnect PIM connector X1 and test the circuit for an open, high resistance or short to
voltage condition.
瀚慖f the circuit tests normal, replace the PIM.
Important: The remaining diagnostic steps test the internal transmission components and circuits. The automatic transmission fluid
pan assembly must be removed in order to perform the diagnostic tests.
5. Disconnect the IMS connector at the switch.
Important: Connect one end of the DT-48493 to the transmission connector. Use the other end as the terminal testing point.
瀚慣est the direction signal circuits and the ground circuit between the IMS and the transmission 24-way X176 connector for a short to
ground, open, high resistance or short to voltage condition.
Important: Connect one end of the DT-47825-10 to the transmission connector. Use the other end as the terminal testing point.
瀚慣est the Starter signal circuit between the IMS and the transmission 16-way X175 connector for a short to ground, open, high resistance
or short to voltage condition. The TCM is a pass-through of the Starter signal circuit and should be tested as a typical circuit path.
瀚慖f the circuit, including the TCM, tests normal, replace the IMS switch.
