Circuit/System Testing
Note: You must perform the Circuit/System Verification first.
1. Ignition OFF, remove the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly. Refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly
Replacement (See: Powertrain Management/Transmission Control Systems/Actuators and Solenoids - Transmission and
Drivetrain/Actuators and Solenoids - A/T/Shift Solenoid/Service and Repair).
2. Perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection (See: Transmission and Drivetrain/Automatic
Transmission/Transaxle/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/6L45/6L50/6L80/6L90 - Automatic
Transmission/Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection).
3. Place the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly on a clean work surface near the transmission assembly.
4. Connect DT-47825-10 - jumper harness between the vehicle wire harness electrical connector, and the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly
electrical connector.
5. Ignition ON, verify with a scan tool the following test status parameters display OK:
* Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 3 Performance Test Status
* Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 3 Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status
* Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 3 Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status
瀚慖f any test status parameter displays Fault or Malfunction, replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (See: Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
* Perform the Service Fast Learn Adapts (See: Transmission and Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Testing and
Inspection/Programming and Relearning) following all transmission related repairs.
* Replace the Q8, K71 control solenoid valve assembly. Refer to Control Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and
