Checking electrical circuits of automatic transmission

The following are general methods for checking the integrity of electrical circuits, checking for short circuits using an ohmmeter and a voltmeter

Checking the integrity of the electrical circuit

Loss of electrical circuit integrity can be caused by the following reasons:

  • - disconnecting the harness block
  • - weak connection of the harness block;
  • - contamination, oxidation, corrosion of contacts;
  • - deformation of contacts;
  • - wire damage.

Check circuit integrity in the following sequence:

  • 1. Disconnect the ground wire terminal from the battery.
  • 2. Visually check that the harness connectors are connected on both sides of the electrical circuit and that the locking latches are latched.
  • 3. Disconnect the pads, visually check the contacts for dirt, corrosion, and deformation.
  • 4. By pulling the wires next to the block, make sure that the wire and the terminal are tightly pressed together and that the terminal is fixed inside the block.
  • 5. Using a probe of a given diameter and length corresponding to the size of the contact in the mating block, make sure that the terminals of the harness blocks provide a reliable connection (the terminals are not recessed in the block, the probe fits tightly into the terminal).
  • 6. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance of the circuit between the pads.

The resistance of a working circuit should be less than 1 ohm. To avoid damage to the terminals, it is allowed to use probes of a given diameter for measurements that correspond to the size of the contacts in the mating blocks.

Checking circuit short to ground

Perform the check in the following sequence:

  • 1. Disconnect the connectors on both sides of the electrical circuit.
  • 2. Connect the probe, one end connected to the + of the battery, to the terminal of the circuit being tested.

If the probe lights up, it means the circuit being tested is shorted to ground.

To avoid damage to the terminal, the probe must be connected using a probe of a given diameter corresponding to the size of the contact in the mating block.

Checking the circuit short to the on-board network

Perform the check in the following sequence:

  • 1. Disconnect the connector on one side of the electrical circuit.
  • 2. Connect the probe, one end connected to ground, to the terminal of the circuit being tested.
  • If the probe lights up, it means that the circuit being tested is closed to the on-board network.
  • 3. Attach the disconnected block.
  • 4. Disconnect the connector on the other side of the electrical circuit.

Run check 2.

To avoid damage to the terminal, the probe must be connected using a probe of a given diameter corresponding to the size of the contact in the mating block.

Measuring voltage at wiring harness contacts

Perform the check in the following sequence:

  • 1. Disconnect the connector on one side of the electrical circuit.
  • 2. Connect the positive cord of the voltmeter to the terminal of the circuit being tested, negative to the vehicle ground.

Fix the voltage value.

To avoid damage to the terminal, the positive cord of the voltmeter must have a probe of a given diameter that matches the size of the contact in the mating block.
