Working on a 2013 chev equinox. I bought it, seller told me that his daughter was driving it, parked it the night before and next morning
Started it up and it would if move when she put it into drive. He didn’t want anything to do with it so he just put it up for sale. I figured probably broken shift linkage or a simple fix, but linkage is moving good and all the fuses are good. Fluid is pretty dark. I don’t seem to have any response from the transmission when you shift it between park,R, N, and drive, like usually you feel a small jerk when cycling between these. I have a cheap scan tool I bought, i got it hooked up and the tcm sees it cycling through where ever I shift it with the shifter. I work on heavy truck so I’m not very familiar with what pressures I’m supposed to get and when they are supposed to be pressured up. I’m getting input speed but no output speed. I checked the CV axles and they look good no movement when in park. In drive it just revs, no noises or anything. Also I ran all the solenoid tests on the scan tool and I can hear all of them clicking when I activate them. Not sure what to do next.
