Perform Electrical Routine first.

Diagnostic Routines ENGAGEMENT CONCERN: NO FORWARD Possible Component 201 ELECTRICAL ROUTINE Powertrain Control System No Electrical Concerns 301 HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL ROUTINE Shift Linkage Damaged, out of adjustment Improper Pressures Low Forward Clutch pressure, low line pressure, Check pressure at line and EPC taps. Perform line pressures and stall speed tests. Refer to Other Concerns: Pressure Reference low EPC pressure Chart 401 for specification. If pressures are low, check the following possible components: main control valve body, pump assembly, low intermediate clutch assembly, low intermediate apply tube and seal, N-D accumulator assembly. forward clutch assembly. Main Control Valve Body Bolts out of torque specification Gaskets and separator plate damaged, off location Manual Control Valve damaged Fluid Pump Assembly Bolts out of torque specification Gaskets and Separator Plate damaged, off location Porosity/cross leaks/ball missing or leaking Components damaged Support AssemblyDriven Sprocket Tighten bolts to specification. Inspect for damage. Replace as required. Inspect for porosity and leaks. Replace as required. Inspect for damage. Replace as required. Tighten bolts to specification. Inspect gasket for damage. Replace as required. Inspect. Service as required. Inspect and service as required. Verify linkage adjustment as described in Section 07-05. After servicing linkage, verify TR sensor is properly adjusted. Refer to In-Vehicle Service. If DTC P1700 is present, check for low transmission fluid level. Then, continue to Hydraulic/Mechanical Routines. Reference/Action
