(7) With the manual lever in the PARK position
(the PARK position is with the manual lever moved
to the full rearward position), measure the resistance
between the Cluster Resistance Signal and the Clus-
ter Signal Return pins of the TRS. The resistance
should be 522.2 ohms. If the resistance is not correct,
replace the TRS.
(8) With the manual lever in the REVERSE posi-
tion (the REVERSE position is with the manual lever
moved one detent forward of the full rearward posi-
tion), measure the resistance between the Cluster
Resistance Signal and the Cluster Signal Return pins
of the TRS. The resistance should be 206.2 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
(9) With the manual lever in the NEUTRAL posi-
tion (the NEUTRAL position is with the manual
lever moved two detents forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Cluster
Resistance Signal and the Cluster Signal Return pins
of the TRS. The resistance should be 108.6 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
(10) With the manual lever in the DRIVE position
(the DRIVE position is with the manual lever moved
three detents forward of the full rearward position),
measure the resistance between the Cluster Resis-
tance Signal and the Cluster Signal Return pins of
the TRS. The resistance should be 59.9 ohms. If the
resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
(11) With the manual lever in the SECOND posi-
tion (the SECOND position is with the manual lever
moved one detent rearward of the full forward posi-
tion), measure the resistance between the Fused
Ignition Switch Output and the Back-up Lamp feed
pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 31.9 ohms.
If the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
(12) With the manual lever in the LOW position
(the LOW position is with the manual lever moved to
the full forward position), measure the resistance
between the Fused Ignition Switch Output and the
Back-up Lamp feed pins of the TRS. The resistance
should be 13.7 ohms. If the resistance is not correct,
replace the TRS.

REMOVAL

(1) Raise vehicle and position drain pan under the

transmission range sensor (TRS).

(2) Move the transmission manual lever to the
manual LOW position. The manual LOW position is
with the manual lever in the forward-most detent.
(3) Disengage the wiring connector from the TRS.
(4) Remove the two screws holding the TRS to the
TRS mounting bracket.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 42RE
(5) Remove the TRS (Fig. 253) from the TRS
mounting bracket by pulling it straight out of the
bracket.
