Solution

Issue: 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 T1XX Not Shifting into Gear

Tools Required:

  • OBD-II scanner
  • Multimeter
  • Transmission dipstick
  • Socket set
  • Screwdrivers
  • Transmission fluid
  • Funnel
  • Torque wrench

Repair Instructions:

  1. Fluid Level Adjustment:

    • If the transmission fluid is low:
      • Use a funnel to add the appropriate transmission fluid through the dipstick tube until it reaches the correct level.
    • If the fluid is dirty:
      • Drain the transmission fluid using a socket set to remove the pan bolts.
      • Replace the filter and gasket, and refill with new transmission fluid.
  2. Replace the Transmission Range Sensor:

    • Disconnect the battery to avoid electrical shorts.
    • Locate the transmission range sensor on the transmission housing.
    • Remove the connector and unscrew the sensor using the socket set.
    • Install the new sensor and reconnect the battery.
  3. Test and Replace Shift Solenoids:

    • If testing reveals a faulty shift solenoid:
      • Remove the transmission pan to access the solenoids.
      • Disconnect the electrical connectors and remove the affected solenoids.
      • Install new solenoids and reassemble the transmission pan.
  4. Reprogram the TCM (if necessary):

    • If the TCM is replaced, it may require reprogramming with a scan tool to sync with the vehicle’s computer system.
  5. Final Checks:

    • Clear any DTCs using the OBD-II scanner.
    • Start the vehicle and attempt to shift through all gears to ensure proper operation.
    • Test drive the vehicle to confirm the issue is resolved.

Conclusion:

If the vehicle still does not shift into gear after performing these steps, it may indicate a more severe internal transmission issue, requiring professional diagnosis and repair. It's recommended to consult with a certified transmission specialist for further assistance.
