  3. Repair or replace damaged components as necessary.

4. TCM and Sensor Testing

• Tools Required: Multimeter, diagnostic scan tool.
• Test the transmission control module:
  1. Reconnect the battery and power on the vehicle.
  2. Using the diagnostic scan tool, access the TCM and check for communication errors.
  3. Inspect TPS and VSS using a multimeter to verify they are within specification.
