Automatic transmission electrical circuit checks
Below are general methods for checking the integrity of electrical circuits, checking for short circuits using an ohmmeter and voltmeter.
Checking the integrity of an electrical circuit
Loss of electrical circuit integrity can be caused by the following reasons:
- - disconnection of the harness block;
- - poor connection of the harness block;
- - contamination, oxidation, corrosion of contacts;
- - deformation of contacts;
- - damage to the wire.
Check the integrity of the circuit in the following sequence:
- 1. Disconnect the ground wire terminal from the battery.
- 2. Visually check that the harness pads are connected on both sides of the electrical circuit, the locking latches are snapped.
- 3. Disconnect the pads, visually check the contacts for dirt, corrosion, deformation.
- 4. Pull the wires near the pad to make sure that the wire and terminal are tightly crimped, that the terminal is fixed inside the pad.
- 5. Using a probe of the specified diameter and length corresponding to the size of the contact in the mating pad, make sure that the terminals of the harness pads provide a reliable connection (the terminals are not recessed into the pad, the probe fits tightly into the terminal).
- 6. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance of the circuit between the pads. The resistance of a healthy circuit should be less than 1 Ohm.
To avoid damaging the terminals, it is permissible to use probes of a specified diameter for measurements, corresponding to the size of the contacts in the mating blocks.
Checking the short circuit of the circuit to ground
Carry out the check in the following sequence:
- 1. Disconnect the blocks on both sides of the electrical circuit.
- 2. Connect the tester, with one end connected to the + of the battery, to the terminal of the circuit being checked. If the probe lights up, the circuit being tested is shorted to ground.
To avoid damaging the terminal, the probe must be connected using a probe of a specified diameter corresponding to the size of the contact in the mating socket.
Checking the circuit for shorting to the on-board network
Perform the check in the following sequence:
- 1. Disconnect the socket on one side of the electrical circuit.
- 2. Connect the probe, with one end connected to ground, to the terminal of the circuit being tested.
- If the probe lights up, the circuit being tested is shorted to the on-board network.
- 3. Connect the disconnected socket.
- 4. Disconnect the socket on the other side of the electrical circuit. Perform test 2.
To avoid damaging the terminal, the tester must be connected using a probe of a specified diameter corresponding to the size of the contact in the mating socket.
Measuring the voltage at the contacts of the wiring harness
Perform the test in the following sequence:
- 1. Disconnect the socket on one side of the electrical circuit.
- 2. Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter to the terminal of the circuit being tested, and the negative lead to the vehicle ground.
Record the voltage value.
To avoid damaging the terminal, the positive lead of the voltmeter must have a probe of a specified diameter corresponding to the size of the contact in the mating socket.
