TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR (Continued)
(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 Transmission Range Sensor MUX and
the Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply 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 Transmis-
sion Range Sensor MUX and the Transmission Range
Sensor 5V Supply 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 Trans-
mission Range Sensor MUX and the Transmission
Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resis-
tance 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 Transmission
Range Sensor MUX and the Transmission Range
Sensor 5V Supply 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 Transmis-
sion Range Sensor MUX 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 Transmission Range Sensor MUX and
the Back-up Lamp feed pins of the TRS. The resis-
tance 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.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 48RE
(3) Disengage the wiring connector from the TRS.
(4) Remove the two screws holding the TRS to the
TRS mounting bracket.
(5) Remove the TRS (Fig. 242) from the TRS
mounting bracket by pulling it straight out of the
bracket.
