TEST
3 With the DRBIII , record the EATX EVENT DATA to help identify the conditions in
which the DTC was set.
With the DRBIII , erase Transmission DTCs.
NOTE: To erase EATX EVENT DATA information, a BATTERY DISCONNECT
must be performed. Performing a BATTERY DISCONNECT will reset all
learned Transmission values to controller defaults which may lead to
erratic shift schedules.
Drive the vehicle and try to duplicate the conditions in which the DTC was reported
by the EATX EVENT DATA.
With the DRBIII , read Transmission DTCs.
Did the DTC P0124 THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR INTERMITTENT, reset?
Yes → Go To 4
→ Go To 6
No
4 Ignition On, Engine Not Running.
With the DRBIII , under Transmission Sensors, monitor the TPS voltage in the
following step.
