Common Symptoms

Transmission slipping
Harsh or delayed shifting
Limp mode (stuck in one gear)
Check Engine Light on

Possible Causes

Low or degraded transmission fluid
Faulty shift solenoid
Internal transmission wear
TCM or ECM software issue

Step-by-Step Diagnosis

Connect an OBD2 scanner and confirm the code is present. Note any additional codes.
Review freeze frame data to understand engine conditions when the code was set.
Visually inspect the Transmission - Manufacturer Controlled and related wiring harness for damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
Perform a wiggle test on wiring while monitoring live data (if applicable).
Use a multimeter to check sensor/actuator resistance, voltage, and ground integrity.
Compare live data readings to factory specifications.
If circuit-related, trace the wiring diagram and test for opens, shorts, or high resistance.
Clear the code and perform a road test to verify repair.

Recommended Repairs

Replace or repair the faulty Transmission - Manufacturer Controlled if testing confirms failure.
Repair any damaged wiring, connectors, or terminals. Ensure proper routing and secure mounting.
Clean components (throttle body, MAF sensor, EGR valve) if contamination is present.
Update ECM/TCM software if a technical service bulletin (TSB) applies.
Replace related fluids (transmission fluid, coolant) if degraded or incorrect.
Verify repair by clearing codes and completing an extended road test under various conditions.
