When Monitored:
In any forward gear with engine speed above 1000 RPM shortly after a shift and every minute thereafter.
Set Condition:
After a shift into a forward gear, with engine speed above 1000 RPM, the PCM momentarily turns on element
pressure to the Clutch circuits that don’t have pressure to identify the correct Pressure Switch closes. If the
Pressure Switch does not close 2 times, the DTC sets.

Theory of Operation
The Transmission Control System tests the pressure switches when they areoff. The test verifies that the switches
are operational (They will close with pressure applied). The Transmission Control System verifies that the switch
closes when the corresponding element is applied. If a switch fails to close, it is re-tested. If it fails the second test,
the DTC will set, the MIL will illuminate and the transmission system will default to the orderly Shutdown routine.
