step.
7) Turn engine off. Drain transmission fluid and remove oil
pan. Inspect oil pan for burnt oil and debris. Repair transmission as
necessary. See appropriate AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL article. If
transmission is okay, no problem is found at this time, see INACTIVE
DTC CONDITION under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Testing is complete.
8) Leave gauges connected. Replace 3-4 shift solenoid.
Replace transmission pan and fill with fluid. Start engine and allow
engine and transmission to reach normal operating temperature. Using
scan tool, select GOV and 3-4 SHIFT VALVE SYSTEM TEST. Select 4th gear
while monitoring pressure gauges. Governor pressure should rise to
greater than 20 psi (1.4 kg/cm
) and O/D pressure should rise to
greater than 40 psi (2.8 kg/cm). If pressures are as specified, no
problem is found at this time. Testing is complete. If pressures are
not as specified, see appropriate AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL
article, paying attention to seals and clutches related to O/D clutch.
